ALTER BRIDGE HIT THE TOP 5 AT ROCK RADIO WITH LATEST SINGLE “ADDICTED TO PAIN”

Debut Single from Latest Album Fortress Hits #5 On Mediabase Active Rock Chart and BDS Rock Chart

Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti to Appear on That Metal Show This Month in Support of Latest Album and Upcoming World Tour

Alter Bridge are proving to American radio what the rest of the world has already known, they are a musical force to be reckoned with. The band’s debut single “Addicted To Pain” has reached the Top 5 on both the Mediabase Active Rock Chart and the BDS Rock Chart. The single is currently heating up radio waves across the country with stations like WMMR (Phladelphia), WRIF (Detroit), KUPD (Phoenix) and Sirius Octane supporting the single. WJJO in Madison had this to say, “This song has the USA figuring out what the rest of the world already knew: Alter Bridge is amazing.”

“Addicted To Pain” is the first single from the band’s latest album Fortress. Fortress debuted at #12 on the Billboard Top 200, #5 on the Top Current Rock Albums and Top Current Alternative Albums and outsold the band’s previous release, ABIII. Fortress also hit #1 on the iTunes Rock Album chart and #8 on the iTunes Top Album chart the week it was released. The latest release from the rock juggernaut band comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitar, Mark Tremonti on guitar/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums, has been getting rave reviews around the world.  The Guardian newspaper called Fortress: “As epic as prime Led Zep and as thunderous as peak-form Sabbath…” and Loudwire declares “the substance and technicality that they have immersed into their music have elevated them to a whole new level.” The album was produced by long-time Alter Bridge producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette, known for his work with Falling In Reverse, Story Of The Year and Incubus.

Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti are confirmed to appear on the current season of That Metal Show. This appearance marks the first time Alter Bridge will be on the show even though both guys have appeared on the show before. Myles Kennedy appeared on the show with Slash and Mark Tremonti was on the show in support of his solo project. The band will appear in support of Fortress and to promote their upcoming world tour. The show will air on Saturday, February 15th at 11PM ET/PT on VH1 Classic.

Alter Bridge will be hitting the road this month in support of Fortress. The band will be playing shows in Japan and Australia before coming back for their first US run in support of the latest album.  The US tour kicks of April 14th in Dallas, TX and runs through May 18th where it wraps up at Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. The tour will be making stops in Atlanta, Chicago and New York. The band will also be heading over to Europe this summer where they will be closing this year’s Download Festival on Sunday night as direct support to Aerosmith.

Alter Bridge burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut, One Day Remains.  In 2007, the band released Blackbird, the album that elevated the band’s profile worldwide.  The epic solo in the title track “Blackbird” was voted “Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time” by Guitarist Magazine.  ABIII was released in 2010 and the single “Isolation” gave the band their first #1 single.  Alter Bridge has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR.  When Alter Bridge is on hiatus, singer Myles Kennedy can be found fronting Slash’s band, Slash, featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.  Guitarist Mark Tremonti recently released his fist solo project All I Was that found Wolfgang Van Halen playing bass with Mark on the road. Scott Phillips formed Projected with John Connolly and Vinnie Hornsby of Sevendust and released their debut in 2012.

0 ALBANY BASED BAND ‘ADDICTED TO PAIN’ OFFER UP A HELLACIOUS DEBUT SELF-TITLED RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 14TH 2010

  • August 9, 2010

Managing to combine the sounds of ‘80s era first-wave thrash and ‘90s era power metal, Albany, New York’s Addicted to Pain will appeal to a wide
variety of heavy metal connoisseurs. Comprised of Leo Curley (vocals, guitar), Bob Horvath (bass), and Gregory Nash (drums), it all started when
Bob and Leo met in a band called Eyesore (which included a pre-Shadows Fall Jason Bittner in its ranks), before finding the missing piece to the
puzzle with Gregory. But come 2010, the trio has unleashed their first-ever release – a self-titled four-song EP – which is available for
purchase via iTunes, as well the group’s official site and myspace page.

And to get that extra added crunch to their sound, the boys enlisted the aid of a gentleman that was there at the dawn of the thrash metal
movement, Alex Perialas. “Most amazing/draining recording experience ever,” recalls Curley. “We worked with Alex Perialas (Anthrax, S.O.D.,
Testament, Pro-Pain, etc.). He really pulled it out of us. It was like working in a piece of metal history – living in the band house and studio
where all that happened was humbling. We had a lot to live up to.”

And it turns out that the Perialas/Addicted to Pain union has certainly reaped metallic dividends, as evidenced from all four of the EP’s tracks.
But the group has specific favorites in mind. Curley – “For me it’s ‘Trust Me.’ This song was a skeleton when we brought it to Alex. He really had a
lot to do with the formation of this sweet little ditty. Many vocal rewrites. All the hard work gives me a real sense of pride on this one.”
Nash – “‘Here and Now,’ ‘cause it’s in 7.” Horvath – “‘Trust Me’ is brutal and ‘Abigail’ for its sound and its lyrical content.”

Addicted to Pain is also gearing up to tour the US in the fall. It won’t be long until headbangers coast to coast will get to experience this
fearsome threesome head-on. Or as Curley explains the group’s live show, “Blood, sweat, and tears all over the stage!”
