TREMONTI To Release A Dying Machine In June; Concept Album To Be Accompanied By Full-Length Novel; Teaser Video
March 28, 2018, 6 years ago
Tremonti, the band comprised of Mark Tremonti on vocals/guitars, Eric Friedman on guitars, and Garrett Whitlock on drums, will be releasing their fourth full-length album, A Dying Machine, worldwide via Napalm Records on June 8th. Longtime producer, Michael “Elvis” Baskette, produced the album. Pre-order here. A teaser video including music from the new album can be found below.
From the militant drum assault of the album opener “Bringer Of War” to the instrumental closer “Found”, A Dying Machine is Tremonti’s most-diverse musical offering to date. Songs like “From The Sky”, “Throw Them To The Lions”, and “A Lot Like Sin” are classic Tremonti that fans have come to love from the trio. Songs like “Trust”, “The First The Last”, and “Desolation” take the listener to new places sonically, all backed by Tremonti’s signature vocal style.
A Dying Machine is the first concept album of Tremonti’s career. The music is inspired by a story that came to Mark while on the last Alter Bridge tour. During that time, the epic title track “A Dying Machine” was born. The story, which is being turned into a full-length work of fiction authored by Mark Tremonti and John Shirley, takes place at the turn of the next century where humans and fabricated beings called “vessels” are trying to co-exist. Tremonti and Shirley are working on finishing the novel to release alongside the record.
