Alter Bridge: The Last Hero - 6 Things We Learned From The Cover Art
1. One Song Is Almost Seven Minutes Long
Okay, this one is a tidbit from the listening party, but how awesome is it to hear that AB have put together a truly epic, near-seven minute long track?
For years they've discussed the idea of doing an on-record instrumental (Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad was only for Total Guitar Magazine), and although this 'one song' - confirmed title 'Cradle to the Grave' could be it - most likely features vocals, the band are flexing their progressive muscles more than ever.
Fortress and Cry of Achilles are already very intricate, time signature-juggling bookends to a phenomenal album, and if that ethos has provided a jumping off point for The Last Hero instrumentally, we'll be in for one hell of a treat come October.
