Tremonti's second album "Cauterize" June 2015!

[mitch103]

I love the harmonies by wolfie and erock.. thats what makes the chorus for me i think. It just takes it to a whole new level

[Timotheus]

Mark doesn't have the voice to make everything sound good to me. Myles can sing Happy Birthday, and it'll still sound amazing. That means Mark has to compensate by his songwriting, and that chorus is absolutely incredible. Better than anything on All I Was.

I wouldn't go that far about that chorus. It's good, but it isn't better than every song on AIW.

^^ Think Timo meant vocally

Dat chorus doe!!

Anyone else think that releasing the album after the tour is over is a mistake? Selling CD's at concerts is a great way to make money, so not sure what they're thinking with that.

I was under the impression they uploaded Fortress a week before on YouTube so that fans would get a chance to know the new songs @ HoB (the tour started right away didn't it?). Hearing a song live for the first time wouldn't be my first choice. He could be trying something new to go Gold again...

Well, I like it better than every chorus on All I Was. And besides the intro and verses of Brains, I think it's the only thing from the Tremonti project that has really impressed me.

[JSlade]

The Sympathy preview is still the most impressive to me. Just really didn't expect him to be able to sing like that. Sympathy is just majestic and proud sounding to me.

I was just thinking that. Plus it seems DJ's will be more apt to promote the band's live show if they can actually spin their new single. For instance, release the single before the tour so the DJ's can actually play it and say something like "This is the new single from Tremonti, they will be playing at the House of Blues tonight, so if you dig it go see them live and in person!".

I'm scratching my head at this "industry standard" stuff lol

[anguyen92]

Again, the single will be out in April, which is what they want, so the rock radio DJs can still do all of that stuff promoting it and build hype for the album. Just the album won't be out until whenever after the US tour.

[TREMONSTER]

You're right, for some reason I thought the tour started earlier than that. So yeah, that works. Still would be nice to be able to buy the album at the actual show though.

[Timotheus]

Oh wow, so they'll do an entire tour before the album even gets released? I completely missed that. That's kinda strange indeed.

Oh well, at least we'll have some live songs so the wait is less hard.

[AB4Lyfe]

So the album is getting released right around the time of the European festivals, but after the first leg of their tour... Shouldn't be too bad.

[Fish Tacos]

The further they push it out, the more value I get from having gone to the listening party and the longer I can hold it over the peasants

[Andy92]

Tim said there will be a full tour in the fall across the US and Europe. So this is more of a warmup run to get the hype going.

[Fish Tacos]

Hopefully the hype doesn't fall flat on its face. YAY ANALOGIES!

He'll do fine on both the pre-album tour and on sales. Fans are just going to be disappointed in the longer wait.

I'm not putting too much stock in the idea that it will increase sales, but you never know.

You never know, indeed, but this album will most likely not going to have the 1st weeks sales that Fortress did (at 30k). However, hopefully, Cauterize can get just as much attention in terms of hype that Fortress did and maybe, Tremonti can run away with it and can have a lot of ears on them when the album is available to be listened to.

Concerning when we might see the album art, I asked Mike:

Michael Tremonti
@TremontiMichael

"@laforzadimente No word and I have not seen it"

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

83 days 15 hours and 14 minutes until Cauterize!

I totally need to have a countdown clock on my computer. Or would keeping track of the days make it go by slower?

[Fish Tacos]

Here you go Shea, your new homepage: http://tinyurl.com/p57yfna

Yours should really be 14 days longer though as the release date is 2 weeks later in Canada.
