ArtistDirect recently reviewed the single and declared, “This is the crossroads of thrash, polyrhythmic tech metal, and melodic hard rock. It’s like if Slayer, Gojira, and Alice in Chains had a baby. It’s unlike anything out there, and it’s going to make a massive impact this year.” A lyric video for “Another Heart” was released a few weeks ago and has been viewed over 200,000 times since release.

Cauterize is slated for release on June 9^th via Fret 12 Records. The album features Mark Tremonti on vocals/guitars, Eric Friedman on guitars, Wolfgang Van Halen on bass and Garrett Whitlock on drums. From the first riffs of album opener “Radical Change” to the final notes of the epic closer “Providence,” it is apparent that Mark Tremonti is at a whole new level with his songwriting. His hard rock/heavy metal influences shine throughout the album on songs like “Flying Monkeys,” “Arm Yourself” and “Sympathy.” A second companion album of all new material from Tremonti called Dust is also completed and more information will be available in the future.

Bassist Wolfgang Van Halen will be missing some of the early touring plans due to the recently announced Van Halen tour. He recently said in a statement, “I am still part of Tremonti and very excited for the release of Cauterize, but unfortunately am unable to participate in the upcoming tour dates, both in the States and overseas due to my prior commitment with Van Halen for the upcoming summer tour in support of the Tokyo Dome Live In Concert album. Look forward to seeing all of the Tremonti fans on the road as soon as my schedule permits!”

Mark Tremonti is the Grammy Award-winning guitarist and songwriter known for his work in the critically acclaimed Alter Bridge and in the multi-platinum rock juggernaut Creed.
