Tremonti reveal Cauterize details

Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti has revealed the first details of his second Tremonti album, which is to be called Cauterize.

The follow-up to 2012’s All I Was contains 10 tracks, after the list was cut down from a total of 20 songs recorded.

Last month the band offered five track clips following a listening party held for an invited audience.

Wolfgang Van Halen played a more involved role this time round, since becoming the band’s touring bassist in 2013. Tremonti said last year: “Everyone’s going to notice a big difference on the rhythm section side of things. He’s the best of the best out there on bass. It’s going to make a big difference.”

Drummer Garret Whitlock said in January: “It stacks up well against All I Was. We figured out what our strengths were recording the first album, and with this album we took that and capitalised on all of it.

“I think, as far as playing goes, everybody was on their A game – we’re really happy with it.”

Cauterize is to be released in May, and more details will be announced in due course.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
