With the overwhelming response to their first single in over two years ‘Silent Divide‘, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE are back with another song from their upcoming 8th studio album, “Alter Bridge”. ‘What Lies Within’ is now available via all digital service providers from the quartet comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums.
The song opens with a driving guitar riff from Kennedy and Tremonti as before the rhythmic groove of Marshall and Phillips pushes the song. The lyrics are a cautionary tale of the darkness inside mankind as Kennedy sings “What lies within, beneath the skin, something so dark and foreboding.” An animated video for ‘What Lies Within‘ was directed by J.T. Ibanez
