Alter Bridge Unleashes “What Lies Within” Ahead of Highly-Anticipated Eighth Album
Following the explosive return with “Silent Divide,” Alter Bridge is keeping the momentum roaring with their second single, “What Lies Within.” This track dives headfirst into the band’s signature heavy riffage and haunting lyrical depths, offering fans a gritty, melodic taste of what’s to come on their upcoming self-titled eighth studio album, Alter Bridge, set to release on January 9, 2026.
Led by Myles Kennedy’s powerful vocals and the dual-guitar assault from Kennedy and Mark Tremonti, the new single explores the darker corners of the human psyche. A slick animated video directed by J.T. Ibanez visualizes this internal struggle, adding another layer to the song’s brooding energy.
With over two decades of camaraderie and sonic evolution, Alter Bridge isn’t just staying the course—they’re doubling down. The upcoming album, recorded at the iconic 5150 Studio and helmed once again by producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette, promises to deliver 12 fresh tracks that blend classic elements with new experimentation.
Tracks like “Rue The Day” and “Scales Are Falling” channel vintage Alter Bridge intensity, while songs like “Trust In Me” and “Tested And Able” showcase a clever vocal role reversal between Kennedy and Tremonti. The album culminates in “Slave To Master,” a sprawling, epic finale that fans will no doubt dissect for years to come.
As “Silent Divide” climbs the rock charts and “What Lies Within” cements its place in the band’s heavy-hitting legacy, one thing’s clear: Alter Bridge is far from finished—they’re just getting louder.
