Alter Bridge: 10 Best Hard Rock Songs
2. Cry Of Achilles
Sticking with 'Fortress' for our penultimate entry, 'Cry of Achilles' is widely regarded as a landmark single release in Alter Bridge's career. Although 'Addicted To Pain' was the album's lead single, 'Cry Of Achilles' took the honour of opening the album itself and did it in style.
Although this song did not match up to the commercial success of other Alter Bridge songs that have been mentioned already, it still picked up some notable accolades. These achievements included reaching #27 in the US Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, before being featured on the Guitar Hero Live game.
The song itself is a masterful display of musicianship in every sense. Each member of the band puts in a stunning, adrenaline fuelled performance, setting a high standard for the remainder of the album which is repeatedly matched.
