ALTER BRIDGE Rise With Haunting New Single ‘Scales Are Falling’ Ahead Of Self-Titled Album

Acclaimed rock titans Alter Bridge unveil their latest single and visual chapter with “Scales Are Falling” music video, a sprawling and atmospheric anthem that stands as the final pre-release glimpse into their self-titled eighth studio album. The band’s long-awaited record lands January 9 via Napalm Records, and this striking new release sets the tone with towering melodies, cinematic dynamics, and a visceral emotional weight that has become a hallmark of their sound.

“Scales Are Falling” showcases Alter Bridge’s prowess for sculpting tension and release — from its evocative opening passages to the sweeping peaks and textured instrumental layers that follow. Anchored by Myles Kennedy’s impassioned vocals and the band’s masterful interplay, the track traverses a dramatic sonic arc that’s both introspective and ferocious. Guitarist Mark Tremonti’s expressive soloing over the bridge and Kennedy’s commanding outro further amplify the song’s emotional breadth.

Lyrically, the song delves into the moment of awakening when illusions shatter and truth comes into stark focus, a theme that resonates with the band’s characteristic blend of lyrical depth and musical intensity. The accompanying music video echoes this narrative with striking visuals that reflect the weight of revelation and the emotional reckoning that follows, perfectly complementing the track’s layered sonic landscape.

Set for release on January 9, Alter Bridge’s self-titled album marks a milestone in the band’s storied career, featuring 12 robust new tracks that balance crushing riffs with soaring melodies and lyrical insight. With “Scales Are Falling” paving the way, fans are primed for a record that reaffirms Alter Bridge’s enduring impact on modern rock and their unshakable creative vision.
