After three decades, 18 full-length albums, and thousands of shows, Mark Tremonti continues to relentlessly push himself as a guitarist, a vocalist, and a songwriter, above all. This unstoppable drive has underscored his catalog earmarked by a GRAMMY® Award, cumulative streams in the billions, and total sales of 60 million units worldwide across his inexhaustible output with Creed, Alter Bridge, and solo band TREMONTI. TREMONTI has delivered a string of celebrated releases, including All I Was [2012], Cauterize [2015], Dust [2016], A Dying Machine [2019] (accompanied by an acclaimed novel of the same name co-written by Mark with John Shirley), and Marching In Time [2021]. KERRANG! hailed the latter as “another worthy chapter in its creator’s well-populated book,” and American Songwriter praised how “Marching In Time is structured around denser melodies and reflective epistles prodding around chunkier riffs.” Loudwire applauded the title track as “hypnotically epic,” and Guitar World readers voted “Now and Forever” as “The Best Riff of 2021.”
Mark Tremonti levels up all around on his 19th overall LP and sixth TREMONTI full-length, The End Will Show Us How, out January 10, 2025 via Napalm Records. His voice, writing, and playing have supercharged TREMONTI as a force in its own right. Joined by bandmates Eric Friedman [guitar], Ryan Bennett [drums], and Tanner Keegan [bass], Tremonti returned to Studio Barbarosa in Orlando, FL to record The End Will Show Us How alongside longtime producer and trusted cohort Michael “Elvis” Baskette [Alter Bridge, Sevendust, Mammoth WVH].
The album opens in epic fashion with the airy “The Mother, The Earth and I.” Psychedelic guitar cries out as Mark’s vocals reverberate, before he caps off the trip with a stunning solo. TREMONTI later injects a hulking groove into first single “Just Too Much,” bursting out of the gate with a muscular riff before its lyrics inspire the listener to keep pushing forward. “It’s Not Over” doubles as the emotional apex of The End Will Show Us How, with deep-cutting delivery against a backdrop of sparse instrumentation, before glassy harmonics begin to glimmer on the clean instrumental intro of title track “The End Will Show Us How.” Later in the song, Tremonti tears through a wah-drenched solo with palpable feel and tenacious shredding. Chugging “Tomorrow We Will Fail” charges with inspirational lyricism, before “I’ll Take My Chances” trumpets a carpe diem clarion call above an airtight metallic barrage. The ride concludes with “All The Wicked Things,” in which futuristic synth transmissions pulsate through the haze, giving way to pummeling distortion, a skyscraping refrain, and one of Mark Tremonti’s most incisive displays of fret fireworks.
Once again, TREMONTI have expanded their signature sound, allowing space for the instrumentation and vocals to breathe and bludgeon. The End Will Show Us How is a testament to Mark Tremonti’s legacy of ceaseless creativity and a certified triumph in his discography.
