Following the overwhelming response to “Silent Divide,” their first new single in over two years, Alter Bridge are now releasing another song. “What Lies Within” is the second single from their eighth album, which will be released on January 9, 2026, via Napalm Records. A driving guitar riff from Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti opens the song before the rhythmic groove of bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips propels the song forward.
The lyrics warn of the darkness that lies dormant within people – Myles sings: “What lies within, beneath the skin, something so dark and foreboding.” The animated video for “What Lies Within” was directed by J.T. Ibanez and you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/R0WCP0RWfIw?si=-gkUfeqDU8XAjAJE
