'The Last Hero' is the fifth studio album by American rock band Alter Bridge, released on 7th October 2016 by Napalm Records.
'The Last Hero' creates musical imagery to showcase a common theme that runs throughout the record: paying tribute to, and touching on the need for heroes and leaders in a complex world. "Show me a leader that won`t compromise – show me a leader so hope never dies“ Myles Kennedy demands in the opening track 'Show Me A Leader' – the first of a row of no-holds-barred, high-energy rockers. Of course Alter Bridge haven`t abandoned their knack for quieter, emotional interludes either. Songs such as 'Cradle To The Grave' and 'You Will Be Remembered' nestle comfortably in between fast-paced, and catchy tunes like 'Losing Patience' and 'Poison In Your Veins'. One thing is for sure: the glorious splendour of 'My Champion' is sure to be an immediate fan favorite!
Produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Slash, Trivium, Tremonti etc) and mastered by Grammy award winner Ted Jensen, 'The Last Hero' is the diversified and resolute rock album we have all been waiting for.
