Mark Tremonti is a man who needs no introduction. One of the most successful riff dealers in modern rock & metal and arguably one of the most underrated. The End Will Show Us How is the 6th studio album from his Eponymous Tremonti project.
I would be lying if I said that Tremonti and his riffs hadn’t had a big impact on me growing up. One thing that I am constantly surprised by is the depth of his creativity. Obviously being in 3 different projects as a key songwriter provides its own unique set of circumstances. With that in mind I never find myself thinking that he is ever repeating himself.
This is another triumphant string in an already impressive bow. From the introspective opening of The Mother, The Earth and I, the crunch of the bruising Nails and the soul stirring balladry of It’s Not Over, this album delivers something for every flavour of rock & metal fan.
I’ll take my chances is the kind of song Tremonti had built his name on. Driving riffs, & a skyscraper hook, It’s one of the album’s biggest moments. The second half of the album houses The Bottom, Now That I’ve Made it, and the epic closer All the Wicked Things which are destined to become fan favourites.
By now you should know what to expect from Tremonti the band and Mark Tremonti the artist. The End Will Show Us How is an album filled with light & dark. Even in the album’s darkest moments there is a sincerity and optimism that peers through the cracks giving the listener something to hold onto.
This albums not only as a showcase for Tremonti at his most untethered, it also shows appreciation and reverence the career and life he has lead in its many guises and a desire and determination to keep going and moving forward even in the toughest times. A solid life affirming slab of metal tinged hard rock from one of the best in the game.
The End Will Show Us How is out on January 10th via Napalm Records
