Whilst the majority of the music I listen to would be considered to located somewhere in the genre of metal, I do like to occasionally stray away into a little bit of rock too (huge leap I know!). One band I particularly like is Alter Bridge, an American band whose line-up is essentially the original line-up of Creed but with a different singer - Myles Kennedy of Mayfield Four. One Day Remains is Alter Bridge's first album. Of course, one would assume borrowing so heavily from Creed's line-up that surely their sound must parallel that of Creed too. Well, maybe they do to some extent, after all Mark Tremonti's guitar work is a significant element in the song ...  Read the complete review

Alter Bridge are a four-peice rock band from Florida. One Day Remains was recorded and released in 2004. The Album starts off with a very powerful guitar riff that sounds thick and meaty in texture; this gets the album off to a good start.

Alter Bridge have been my favourite band ever since I heard they had risen from the ashes of one of Americas best selling bands - Creed. It is basically Creed minus Scott Stapp which is not a bad thing- particularly with the addition of an immense vocalist called Myles Kennedy who used to sing in a band called the Mayfield Four. Their first release was One Day remains and for a debut album it is phenomenal. They are a heavy yet melodic band with meaty guitar riffs which are incredibly powerful for a one guitar band. It is not surprising that it was rumoured that Myles was asked to sing for Led Zeppelin as his vocal range could match that of Robert Plant. They toured ...  Read the complete review

After the diminish of Creed, it was only a matter of time before the members were seen again and while Scott Stapp plans his solo career, Mark Tremonti & co. have other ideas. Alter Bridge's debut album 'One Day Remains' signals the dawning of a new era, with plenty of variation in the process. Tracks such as 'One Day Remains' and 'Metalingus' allow you to feel the power surge that Creed tracks such as 'Bullets' provided, whereas 'Broken Wings' is a powerful rock anthem and 'In Loving Memory' is a beautiful tribute to Tremonti's mother. All in all, the wide-ranging vocal technique, adaquete bass playing and drum fills as well as some ...  Read the complete review
