Preview Blackbird from Alter Bridge today!

Alter Bridge ’s new album, Blackbird , is set to hit stores on October 9th, today! Blackbird is the follow up to the band’s certified gold 2004 debut, One Day Remains. There are many differences between One Day Remains and Blackbird. Most notable is the full integration of Myles Kennedy as a guitarist and songwriter. Kennedy’s increased involvement in the band has allowed lead guitarist Mark Tremonti to shine throughout Blackbird. Whether it’s the soaring blues based solos on “Brand New Start” or the intense but tasteful lead on “Come to Life,” Tremonti shows his evolution as a player.

Alter Bridge have launched a special listening party for their fans a chance to check out the album in its entirety. Listen to Blackbird before you buy it:
