Alter Bridge: The Last Hero - 6 Things We Learned From The Cover Art

4. Spartan Themed?

I don't know about you, but staring at the image of a warrior-looking dude facing a volley of arrows only brings about comparisons to Zack Snyder's '300', or rather, the Battle of Thermopylae; the real-world event that inspired the movie in the first place.

The actual story beats are mostly the same as the sensationalised film (save for the bomb-throwing witches), as the main point boils down to a symbol of humanity's force of will.

An army of Greek Spartans eventually died defending their territory against overwhelming Persian forces, but the point remains: If you believe in something so strongly, carrying it forward until your dying breath can make a mark on history.

Of course, I could be completely wrong and this could just be one man's quests to fight an army of evil hornets or a poster for an extreme darts competition. Y'know... a concept album.
