Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge and Tremonti is featured in a new interview with Totally Driven Radio. He recently called in from Germany to discuss several topics including the new Tremonti album, working with Wolfgang Van Halen, Alter Bridge's new deal with Napalm Records, his thoughts on guitar legend Randy Rhoads, and more.
On April 29th, Tremonti released their new album Dust, via Fret 12. Frontman Mark Tremonti has since recorded an audio track by track commentary detailing the songs that comprise Dust.
The album, which was recorded during the same sessions as Cauterize, features Mark Tremonti on vocals/guitars, Eric Friedman on guitars, Wolfgang Van Halen on bass, and Garrett Whitlock on drums. Long-time friend and collaborator, Michael “Elvis” Baskette, produced Dust.
From the first riffs of album opener “My Last Mistake” to the final notes of closer “Unable To See”, it is clear that Dust is not a collection of B-sides or leftovers. These ten new tracks continue to showcase Mark’s hard rock/heavy metal influences alongside the material from Cauterize. Songs like “Once Dead”, “Betray Me”, and “Rising Storm” authentically hold their own in Tremonti’s musical arsenal.
