International rock juggernauts, Alter Bridge release their long-awaited fourth studio album, "Fortress".

Fortress was recorded and produced by long-time Alter Bridge producer Michael 'Elvis' Baskette (Stone Temple Pilots, Incubus, Trivium) at his studio in the band's native Florida.

From the opening acoustic guitar on Cry Of Achilles through the other 12 songs on Fortress, it is clear Alter Bridge are back to underline their status as one of contemporary hard rock's breakthrough bands. The four piece showcase some of their heaviest material ever in tracks like Bleed It Dry and Farther Than The Sun, but also reprise their signature, softer side with songs like All Ends Well and the epic title track Fortress. Fortress is 13 tracks of unapologetic, searing hard rock that Alter Bridge has come to be synonymous with.
