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. Distinguished as Guitar World’s “Guitarist of the Decade,” selected as a flagship PRS endorsee, and celebrated on the covers of numerous publications worldwide, he approaches the guitar with an insatiable curiosity and innate need to create. At the same time, he constantly stretches his voice, reaching new heights with each subsequent project.
As such, he levels up all around on his 19th overall LP and sixth Tremonti full-length, The End Will Show Us How [Napalm Records].
“It feels amazing and humbling to be able to put out records this deep into my career,” he says. “As a kid, I looked at getting a record deal as a ‘one-in-a-million’ opportunity. After I did, I figured most bands were lucky to have four successful records, and that would be a long career as a musician. Now that I’m at 19 albums, I know how lucky I’ve been. I still use the guitar as a songwriting tool. When I pick it up, I’m trying to create and communicate. I put more weight on writing melodies than actually practicing. It’s something I’ll always love.”
His voice, writing, and playing have supercharged Tremonti as a force in its own right. The band 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]. Earning acclaim, 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.”
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]. Once again, they expanded the signature sound, allowing space for the instrumentation and vocals to breathe and bludgeon. Plus, Mark relied on his own PRS Mark Tremonti MT 100 Tube Guitar Amp Head for the sonic framework.
“It was the main tone I chased on this one,” he goes on. “It definitely contributed to the sound. There was a lot of variety. No two tracks are alike. Elvis is always getting better as a mixer. I was blown away by what he did. It’s the best-sounding Tremonti album he’s done, in my opinion.”
