TREMONTI - When WOLFGANG VAN HALEN Was Called To Fill In For BRIAN MARSHALL; Video Retrospective Clip Streaming

Fret12, the online collective that Mark Tremonti launched with his brother Dan, is releasing a short documentary on its website today that tells the story of his namesake band, Tremonti, from the beginning to present day, reports Billboard.

“Through the years, I have gotten more confidence performing. There is nothing better than the live experience to become a better performer, and this video shows some of that,” says the Alter Bridge/Creed/Tremonti guitarist. “It has been quite a ride. It all has gone by so fast, and it’s amazing to believe that the third album, Dust, is now out. We have all this new material that we can play from now."

The retrospective “captures us from the beginning working on the first album,” explains Tremonti. “Playing our first show ever with [Creed/Alter Bridge bandmate] Brian Marshall. Then losing Brian right before and getting [bassist] Wolfgang Van Halen. Touring with Wolfgang. Writing the new stuff together as a band in the studio. Then the last tour where we lost Wolfgang to the Van Halen tour and now here we are. It seems like so much has happened in a short span of time."

Tremonti release their new album, Dust, today (April 29th via Fret 12). 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.

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.
