Florida four-piece Alter Bridge was formed in 2004 by members Mark Tremonti (guitar), Scott Phillips (drums) and Brian Marshall (bass) just as their GRAMMY®-winning group Creed (known for such enduring hits as “Higher” and the multi-platinum “With Arms Wide Open”) was embarking on an extended hiatus. The band completed its lineup with singer and guitarist Myles Kennedy—then known for his work with the Mayfield Four—and signed to Wind-up Records. In the studio, Alter Bridge took a collaborative approach, working with producer Ben Grosse (Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Thirty Seconds to Mars), to create their own special brand of hard rock, blending post-grunge riffs, soaring melodies and plenty of blazing guitar solos. Setting the tone for One Day Remains is the metal-tinged opener “Find The Real,” a searing, high-energy track that showcases Kennedy’s dynamic vocals. The album features one of Alter Bridge’s biggest hits, “Open Your Eyes,” which served as the band’s debut single. The anthemic track peaked at No.2 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, while it was a Top 50 hit in Australia and Canada. “Find The Real” also had significant success, landing in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and becoming the official theme to the 2005 WWE Royal Rumble. Fan favourite “Metalingus,” meanwhile, was adopted by WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland as his entrance theme and, today, remains the band’s highest-streaming song. The four-piece also shows off a softer side through tracks “Broken Wings,” “Shed My Skin” and the deeply personal “In Loving Memory,” written by Tremonti as a tribute to his late mother. Upon its release in August 2004, One Day Remains was an immediate bestseller, peaking at No.5 on the Billboard 200 and earning a Gold certification from the RIAA. Elsewhere, it was a Top 40 hit in Australia and New Zealand, while it found chart success in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and beyond. The album also earned plenty of attention in the press. Southern California’s KNAC praised One Day Remains as “a pure rock album. . . . Tremonti’s guitar playing reflects a new high of enthusiasm and excitement as heard on all the songs from their debut release.” Sputnik Music hailed it as “a great debut… Mark is a down-right prodigy of the guitar and manages to make everything he writes sound great.” Today, Alter Bridge have remained at the forefront of the global hard rock scene with seven best-selling studio albums, including the broadly acclaimed Blackbird (2007), AB III (2010), Fortress (2013), The Last Hero (2016), Walk The Sky (2019) and, most recently, Pawns & Kings (2022). They also maintain an active worldwide touring schedule, having played such legendary stages as the O2 Arena, Wembley Arena, and the Royal Albert Hall (all of which have resulted in Top 5 UK live albums), as well as the UK’s Download Festival, France’s Hellfest and Germany’s Rock am Ring/Rock im Park. Alter Bridge plan to start work on new material for their eighth studio album in Spring 2025. Click here to pre-order/pre-save One Day Remains. |
