Alter Bridge has announced that they will release their fifth studio album, The Last Hero, on October 7.
"Lyrically, it reflects the frustrations that a lot of people are feeling with the current state of the world," frontman Myles Kennedy said of "Show Me a Leader," the album's first single, in a press release. "The world is looking for trustworthy effective leadership and not this undignified dog and pony show that's really made a mockery of our system."
"It's indicative of our process," added guitarist Mark Tremonti. "Myles had this guitar intro that I loved, and I had the chorus. We put them together. The words call out for a proper leader." Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Slash, Trivium, Tremonti) produced the set, and Ted Jensen mastered the release.
