Alterbridge Guitarist Mark Tremonti to Release "Thrash" Metal Album

Yes, you read that right. Alterbridge/Creed lead guitarist and one of today's most respected guitarist Mark Tremonti will soon be putting out a thrash metal album. He spoke with 'Robb's Metalworks' in San Antonio and spoke about his recent time away from Alter Bridge.
"I just had three months off while Myles was touring with Slash, so I figured it was a good time to get some music put together. I collaborated with Eric Freidman (Submersed/Creed) and Garret Whitlock (Eye Empire)."
It seems Tremonti has a side for the heavy that didn't quite fit with his usual band Alter Bridge, and if you ask me, this is just gold waiting to be dug up.
"All this stuff that I wanted to see the light of day that never really got used for Alter Bridge and Creed is what I'm putting on the record. There's a lot of speed metal and thrash stuff in there; riffs that I had sitting around; that I'm putting on this record. So it's definitely a heavier-sounding album."
As of now, there are no details as to when, where and how the album will be released.
