Alter Bridge have released footage of their first ever live performance of 2010 track Words Darker Than Their Wings.
It was captured during the band’s two nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall in October last year where they played with the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra and will feature on the band’s upcoming live album.
It’s set to arrive on September 7 on CD, DVD, Blu-ray and vinyl, with a portion of proceeds from sales going to the Future Song Foundation.
The track sees Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti share vocal duties, with Tremonti saying: “Words Darker Than Their Wings was a song that we never played before ever and it’s been one of our favourites, especially me and drummer Scott Phillips.
“That’s been one of our top three Alter Bridge songs since we wrote it and it’s just one of those songs that we have been trying to play live and Myles is always kind of pushing back about it.
“Finally, with this orchestra, Myles said this is the perfect time to do it. We did and it was the biggest reaction of both nights.”
The band previously released a trailer for Alter Bridge: Live At The Royal Albert Hall (opens in new tab) along with Addicted To Pain.
