In a new interview with Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti talked about the band’s future and shared his concerns that Creed could harm the future of his solo albums.
“We tour with Creed through the end of the year this year,” he explained. “I’ve been trying to push the [other] guys [in Creed] to be able to do a New Year’s show this year, ’cause that would be a fun way to end this year out. We haven’t played [Las] Vegas this whole year, for some reason, so Vegas would be perfect for New Year’s for Creed. So I really want that to happen.”
“And then in December, I’ll be performing the Sinatra shows, doing the charitable shows in December, and then in January, I’ll head off to Europe with Tremonti,” he continued. “And that’s for two months. And then I’ll come back home and hit the studio in March with Alter Bridge.”
“And after that is kind of where it becomes a question mark as to do we do a short Creed run. I’ve gotta keep pushing the [new] Tremonti album as much as I can. That’s the biggest risk I face, is the Tremonti album getting gobbled up by Creed. So it’s definitely a delicate balance,” the guitarist added.
In other news, Creed is also working on a new album. Though it might be delayed, it is certain that the album is in progress. “I just finished recording a solo record, that’s mixed and mastered,” Tremonti said of the upcoming album in another interview. “And I’m already writing an Alter Bridge record. And in the meantime, I’ll be writing songs that could be future, upcoming Creed stuff. Who knows? It’s just nonstop.”
In early August, Tremonti announced a new album with his solo band. The album is called ‘The End Will Show Us How,’ and it’s set to release on January 10th via Napalm Records. The lead single, ‘Just Too Much,’ is the first track to be released from the album.
