Only six weeks separate us from Alter Bridge – the eighth studio album from the American rock giants will be released on January 9, 2026, via Napalm Records.
ALTER BRIDGE are now bridging the gap with their third single, „Playing Aces.“ The song opens with the signature dual guitars of Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti, before bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Philips join in to create a driving groove that is as powerful as ever.
The driving verses culminate in an unforgettable chorus, underscored by Kennedy’s stirring lyrics: „If I risked it all, I hope you’ll understand that I had to play my hand…“
Myles Kennedy on „Playing Aces“:
„The title ‚Playing Aces‘ ties in with the gambling analogy of risking everything, regardless of how many times you’ve failed in life. It’s a last desperate attempt to assert yourself.“
Known for memorable riffs, dueling guitar attacks, and rousing vocal melodies, the internationally acclaimed rock quartet ALTER BRIDGE has earned a wave of praise from fans and critics alike. The band aims to continue this success with their eighth studio album, Alter Bridge. The LP follows the highly acclaimed Pawns & Kings from 2022 (#1 US Hard Music Albums, #2 US Billboard 200 (Hard Rock Genre), #3 US Current Rock Albums).
