Get ready for an exciting update on the highly anticipated new album from SLASH & THE CONSPIRATORS featuring Myles Kennedy!
In a recent interview, Myles Kennedy, the talented vocalist and frontman of ALTER BRIDGE, shared some insights into the progress of their upcoming collaboration. He revealed that all the tracks have been recorded, with his vocals wrapped up as early as August 2025. The band is now in the final stages of mixing, aiming for a swift release to satisfy eager fans.
But here's where it gets controversial... Kennedy discussed the musical direction of the new material, emphasizing the band's consistent approach. He hinted that fans shouldn't expect a sudden shift towards synth-pop, as they strive to maintain a certain sound that their audience has come to love. It's a bold move to stick to their guns and not veer too far from what made them successful in the first place.
Slash himself confirmed that the album is indeed complete, with mixing scheduled for January. However, the release date is set for 2027, allowing the band to embark on a full-scale tour. Slash wanted to ensure that they could deliver an exceptional live experience before dropping the new music.
As for the album's sound, Slash described it as "really cool" and "badass." He expressed his excitement, but also cautioned against overhyping it.
In a separate interview, Brent Fitz, the band's drummer, praised Slash's incredible work ethic. He shared insights into the recording process, which involved studio sessions in L.A. and Florida. Fitz also revealed the band's quirky tradition of giving songs comedic working titles, which sometimes stick and become part of their live setlists.
Kennedy further elaborated on the album's direction, describing it as riff-based rock 'n' roll with a heavy dose of Slash's signature blues element. He's confident it will be another thrilling live experience for fans.
And this is the part most people miss... Kennedy revealed that the writing process, often the most challenging part, was completed before his solo tour. He worked closely with Slash, coming up with melodies and lyrics. It's a true collaboration, with Slash understanding the importance of chord progressions that complement Kennedy's melodies.
SLASH & THE CONSPIRATORS entered the studio in November 2024 to begin recording their fifth album. The band has been on a rollercoaster ride, with tours, solo projects, and now, the highly anticipated new music.
