AB III has also garnered overwhelming critical acclaim.
ARTISTdirect.com awarded the record 5 out of 5 stars proclaiming, "It's a juggernaut of an album that places the band firmly in the rock 'n' roll pantheon forever… one of the best rock records of 2010." About.com fervently writes, "This is the best crop of Alter Bridge songs the band members have written." As the positive press continues to pour in, Alter Bridge are across the pond shredding up a storm on their current tour and preparing to properly assault the U.S.

Alter Bridge remains a fiery hard rock force to be reckoned with, and AB III proves that. The band - Myles Kennedy (lead vocalist for Slash's solo touring band), Mark Tremonti (Creed), Brian Marshall (Creed) and Scott Phillips (Creed)—have evolved immensely on the new material, while preserving their trademark sound.
AB III's first single "Isolation" quickly became a radio hit because of the unbreakable combination of explosive riffing and anthemic vocals. However, it's only a small taste of this elegantly heavy opus. From the swirling darkness of "Slip to the Void" to the lilting and elegiac "Wonderful Life," Alter Bridge continue to smash boundaries and grow.
Alter Bridge will hit the road in the U.S. this December - in the meantime, pick up AB III now!
