Alter Bridge have released their track Poison In Your Veins from upcoming album The Last Hero.

The follow-up to 2013’s Fortress arrives on October 7 via Napalm Records and it’s available for pre-order now.

Frontman Myles Kennedy said last week that he didn’t believe musicians could be real heroes, adding: “That’s a term for someone more special.

“As far as trying to be a positive role model or hopefully inspiring people in some way, I don’t take that lightly and try to do the best I can. You can never phone it in because you’ve been given a gift and an opportunity – not only create music but perform it all over the world.

“There’s a responsibility to not let people down and be the best you can. Hopefully, the people listening will pay it forward if they’re inspired – continue that musical passing of the torch.”

The band commence a European tour on November 4. Their track My Champion is included on the CD that accompanies the latest edition of Classic Rock.

The Story of Alter Bridge's Blackbird

Freelance Online News Contributor

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
