Alter Bridge unleash Silent Divide, the first single from their eighth album

It’s here! After announcing a new album back in July, Alter Bridge have just unleashed the record’s first single.

Entitled Silent Divide, the track opens up the whole LP, and hears the Orlando hard rockers on typically killer form. Their eighth record – the follow-up to 2022’s Pawns & Kings – will arrive in full on January 9 via Napalm, with 11 more songs still to come.

In the meantime, stick Silent Divide in your eyes and ears below:
