A dying machine

Mark Tremonti

Tremonti’s first concept album as a frontman laughs in the face of bloated proggery with pace and cohesion as his weapons of choice. It’s also a very compelling advert for his signature PRS head (see Gear Of The Year p44) with a collection of songs that are his strongest set yet since starting this band alongside Alter Bridge. Here the thrashier thrills share equal billing with moodier-paced songs. Download Desolation
