Alter Bridge – drop new single ‘Scales Are Falling’ with visualiser from Marcin Pospiech (NIN, Tool)


With their self-titled eighth studio album arriving worldwide in just two days, ALTER BRIDGE return with the final song to be released ahead of the album’s official launch. “Scales Are Falling” is another signature rocker from the acclaimed quartet – Myles Kennedy (vocals/guitars), Mark Tremonti (guitars/vocals), Brian Marshall (bass), and Scott Phillips (drums).

The track explores the moment of realisation that comes with uncovering deception, and the emotional impact that truth can carry once it’s revealed.

Myles Kennedy explains:

“It’s when you realise the reality of a situation where you’ve been deceivedYou see the truth and how harsh it is.”

“Scales Are Falling is available now across all digital service providers. The accompanying visualiser – created by Marcin Pospiech (Nine Inch Nails, Tool – @reinfected.me) – is also out today and can be seen below.

Mark Tremonti adds:

“I was excited for this one. It has an atmospheric vibe with a lot of peaks, valleys, and moods. I solo over the bridge, and Myles plays the outro.”
