Dust will be the third solo album by Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti. It is set to be released on April 29, 2016 via FRET12 records.

"Dust", which was recorded during same sessions as "Cauterize", features Mark Tremonti on vocals/guitars, Eric Friedman on guitars, Wolfgang Van Halen on bass and Garrett Whitlock on drums. Longtime friend and collaborator Michael "Elvis" Baskette produced "Dust".

The record was recorded during the same sessions as Cauterize, aiding the speedy turn around on a successor. Though they were recorded side by side, the band insists this is not just merely a collection of discarded material or B-sides, but a true full-fledged album that will hit just as hard anything in their quickly expanding discography. With the shackles that lay on the ground on the album cover, perhaps the band will be breaking free of any pre-conceived musical notions as evident by the punchy clip of “Catching Fire.”

Tremonti has been the outlet for some of the musician’s heaviest work, letting his heavy metal influences be known. The production is full yet spacious, providing rumbling low end from Wolfgang Van Halen‘s bass and Garrett Whitlock’s pounding drumming with the crushing weight of the guitar tones from Tremonit himself along with Eric Friedman.
