ALTER BRIDGE Deliver High-Octane Precision With New Single “Playing Aces”

ALTER BRIDGE charge into 2026 with “Playing Aces,” the latest single taken from their upcoming album Alter Bridge, due out January 9th. Accompanied by a razor-sharp performance music video directed by J.T. Ibanez, the band showcase the electrifying chemistry and seasoned mastery that have made them a cornerstone of modern hard rock for two decades.

“Playing Aces” fires on all cylinders—loaded with soaring vocals from Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti’s signature riff craftsmanship, and a rhythm section that hits with surgical precision. It’s a track built on momentum and resolve, capturing the spirit of a band who still refuse to fold even after years at the top of their game.

The official video, shot entirely as a performance piece, highlights ALTER BRIDGE at their most focused and ferocious. Ibanez’s dynamic direction frames the musicians with gritty detail and cinematic motion, allowing every strike of the drums, every note, and every vocal crescendo to feel larger than life.

With “Playing Aces,” ALTER BRIDGE give fans a powerful preview of what’s to come on their new self-titled album—an era defined by renewed fire, unwavering musicianship, and the unmistakable sound of a band still pushing themselves further with every release.
