I like the top secret aspect of this album so far…concealing the song titles on the board. Hope they only release 1-2 songs prior to the album drop date. Keeps the anticipation at peak position.MidnightToker wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 4:23 pm If Tim Tournier still reads this thread, any chance we can get a little update or even just a nugget of info about a song or two? Appreciate all you do Tim.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
It's gotta be this Friday or next, right?
Last week, Lamb Of God announced their new album 'Omens' with a new single... Their record is due out near the same day as P&K in October, so... It's gotta be any day now we hear some AB, right?!

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Nothing More is releasing their album in October as well, and they've already released 2 singles. Now NoMo is on tour right now and probably wanted something new to play, but yeah, we're in that window.
But if Alter Bridge was on the verge of releasing their first single, I'd really hope they start dropping hints and "leaking" snippets and doing stuff to build up the hype. Ramp it up! New AB coming...LFG!!!

I'm placing my money on this week! Hype!

All hype is good hype
Just drop a cryptic post somewhere (twitter, FB, IG...) on social media. Post this:
"Ahem. Mic check... Check, Check One, two. Hey!"
People would go nuts. You wouldn't even have to post anything for another week. But you'd have everyone's eyes and ears tuned in and get people talking and sharing.
But maybe they don't want to step on Mark's and Myles' toes with AB news while they are touring their solo stuff. I could understand that, though I think they'd actually build on each other. Rising tides...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
All the Myles and Mark singles from last year were released on Thursdays, right? I'm gonna guess that this Thursday they will finally officially announce Pawns & Kings, and probably drop a single along with the announcement.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Single release has usually been a couple of weeks after the album announcement, but could be different this time I guess.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Wasn't If Not For You released the same day that Marching In Time was announced?

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Honestly I would bet we get something closer to July. Didn't recording just finish like 2-3 weeks ago? Probably needs more time to mix/master, yeah?
Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Just echoing that I think we're a few weeks if not a month away from this happening.
But by the end of July we'll almost certainly have all the info plus a single.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
They finished recording Walk The Sky in early June 2019, and we got the first single by the end of June.
I'm calling album announcement this week and first single before June ends.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I’m betting July or early August. Hope I’m wrong though. Myles’ tour ends at the end of June so hopefully early July.
The only sure bet
I'm pretty sure they'll announce something before October.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Just hoping for the presale at the AB-website and Napalm starting soon, not to many versions in vinyl, and for sure not too many singles released before release-date of the album.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
Alright, let's get some speculation going. I'm bored of waiting.
Ever since Isolation's success, we've been getting the same type of songs first. Rockers with metal-ish riffs and open choruses with radio-friendly hooks. What do you expect/hope the first single for P&K to be?
Personally, I expect something similar. But Wouldn't You Rather was an absolute miss for me, so if they do follow that pattern, I hope the song will at least reach the quality of Isolation and Addicted To Pain.
But honestly, I wouldn't mind something different. Something simple, a bit more like Rise Today maybe. Or considering the album is supposed to be "complicated", the other end of the spectrum, a Cry of Achilles type of song.
Oh, I also expect the album to be full of chess references, so my guess for the name is "Checkmate"

Pretty sure the first single will be some standard stuff a la Wouldn't Your Rather or Show Me A Leader. Simply because Elvis says so.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
I’m pretty confident that Elvis has no say in the singles selection. That decision belongs to the label. they probably take the band and Tim’s input into account, but I think that the decision ultimately belongs to the Label.
