Tremonti, will release Dust on April 29th via Fret 12. A lyric video for the album’s title track can be found below.
The album, which was recorded during 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.
To coincide with the announcement of Dust, several exclusive fan bundle pre-orders are now available at this location. These bundles include autographed CD’s, t-shirts, hoodies, and other exciting experiences for the Tremonti fan.
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.
