With less than six weeks until the arrival of their eighth studio album on January 9, Alter Bridge return with their brand-new single, \u201cPlaying Aces.\u201d The track bursts open with the band\u2019s trademark dual-guitar firepower as Myles Kennedy (vocals\/guitars), Mark Tremonti (guitars\/vocals), Brian Marshall (bass), and Scott Phillips (drums) lock into the muscular groove that has defined their sound for more than two decades. The propulsive verses build into a soaring, unforgettable chorus, highlighted by Kennedy\u2019s declaration: \u201cIf I risked it all, I hope you\u2019ll understand that I had to play my hand\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying Aces\u201d is available now across all digital service providers. The accompanying music video\u2014directed by J.T. Ibanez\u2014is also out today and can be seen below.<\/p>\n
Myles Kennedy explains: \u201cThe term \u2018Playing Aces\u2019 ties in with the gambling analogy of risking everything regardless of how many times you\u2019ve failed in life. It\u2019s a last-ditch effort to come out on top.\u201d<\/p>\n
With over twenty years as one of rock\u2019s most consistently acclaimed bands, Alter Bridge continue to push forward. Renowned for their towering riffs, infectious melodies, and masterful guitar interplay, the quartet will release their self-titled eighth studio album on January 9 via Napalm Records.<\/p>\n
