Tremonti—the band comprising Mark Tremonti on vocals/guitars, Eric Friedman on guitars/backing vocals and Garrett Whitlock on drums— has a lot to celebrate this week. The band’s latest studio album, “A Dying Machine,” released worldwide via Napalm Records on June 8, has stormed the U.S. sales charts, giving the group its fourth top 10 on the Independent Current Album Chart.
“A Dying Machine” landed at number two on the Top Hard Music Albums, number three on the Record Label Independent Current Album, number seven Top Internet, number 12 Top Current Artists and number 57 on the Billboard Top 200. The album also shot up the iTunes chart, hitting number three on the Top Rock Albums and number six on Top Overall Albums when it was released. The album can be purchased here: http://smarturl.it/ADyingMachine.
On the heels of the chart debut, Tremonti is pleased to announce it will tour the U.S. later this year as special guests for Seether. The recently announced tour will kick off Sept. 13 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and run through Oct. 5 in Des Moines, Iowa. Tremonti is on tour now in Europe with headline shows, dates opening for Iron Maiden and select European festival appearances. Full tour information, VIP packages and ticket purchase links can be found at www.marktremonti.com.
“A Dying Machine” is the first concept album of Tremonti’s career, and the music is inspired by a story that came to Mark while on the last Alter Bridge tour. During that time, the title track “A Dying Machine” was born. The story, which is being turned into a full-length work of fiction authored by Mark Tremonti and John Shirley, takes place at the turn of the next century when humans and fabricated beings called “vessels” are trying to co-exist. Tremonti and Shirley recently finished the novel, and it will be available for pre-order at www.marktremonti.com starting June 22.
