Tremonti

Formed in Orlando (Florida, USA) in 2011, Tremonti is an alternative metal band led by guitarist Mark Tremonti, known for his work with Creed and Alter Bridge. Around him gravitate former Submersed members Eric Friedman (rhythm guitar) and Garrett Whitlock (drums), as well as Wolfgang Van Halen (bass), son of famed guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who was replaced by Tanner Keegan in 2016. Taking advantage of a break from Alter Bridge while its singer Myles Kennedy collaborates with Slash, Mark Tremonti uses his compositions for the debut album All I Was (2012), a cross between post-grunge, thrash metal and speed metal, recorded with his colleague in Alter Bridge, bassist Brian Marshall, who steps down after the tour. Well-received by the public, the project continued with the albums Cauterize (2015) and Dust (2016). After Whitlock's departure, replaced by Ryan Bennett, the band signed with Napalm Records - the label also home to Alter Bridge - and recorded the album A Dying Machine (2018). After the Covid-19 pandemic, the leader takes a side step into vocal jazz with the crooner-style album Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra (2022), followed by Christmas Classics New & Old (2023). He then reunites with his acolytes and returns to metal with The End Will Show Us How (2025).
