Alter Bridge Drop 6 Minute Opus 'Pawns & Kings' - Taken from New Album

It's been a hot minute since Alter Bridge released their single 'Last Rites' back in 2020 and we've been waiting with bated breath for what they'd do next... well peeps, that day has arrived with their new heavier rock belter 'Pawns & Kings' taken from their seventh album of the same name which is set for release on October 14th via Napalm Records.

As the alluring Myles Kennedy takes center stage, the band rip into this 6-minute journey of rock and roll that's going to please even the harshest of critics! I'm hearing elements of Iron Maiden throughout but with a new age spin. Obviously, Myles' time with Slash and the Conspirators has rubbed off because the band are aiming for that next level, making sure we know they mean business and are set to make 2022 their bitch.

If you've thought nothing much of Alter Bridge in the past, forget what you know, this song is the tits and has me excited for what else is to come on this new record.
