Rating
Musical Feel
Song / Album Composition
“This Is War,” is haunting and defiant, exactly the right opening track for this new Alter Bridge record. The entire band sound on fire and in tip-top form.
“Silver Tongue,” dances on the edges of time, bringing the cascading whirlwind toward boiling point. A song that sends a strong message.
“Stay,” slow moving and hauntingly beautiful, a song that creates emotions for time.
“Fable Of The Silent Son,” is powerful, momentous and epic, a song that creeps forward toward chaos and time immemorial.
“Last Man Standing,” turns the whirlwind forward, creeping into oblivion and hinting at the chaos lurking underneath.
“Pawns & Kings,” takes its shot. A song that never sleeps and allows the fortunate to bleed within the echoes.
The album is out now via Napalm Records.
