Mark Tremonti’s The End Will Show Us How builds on his legendary solo work, as well as that with Creed and Alter Bridge, delivering a powerful, dynamic album that takes his sound to new heights.
Mark Tremonti shows no signs of slowing down. With a career spanning three decades, 18 full-length albums, and millions of records sold worldwide, he continues to break new ground as a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. His relentless drive has earned him a Grammy, billions of streams, and an indelible mark on the hard rock world through his work with Creed, Alter Bridge, and his solo project Tremonti. And now Tremonti delivers The End Will Show Us How, his 19th album overall and the sixth under the Tremonti moniker, a record that further expands his already expansive musical legacy.
Produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette, The End Will Show Us How was recorded at Studio Barbarosa in Orlando, FL, with Tremonti joined by his steadfast bandmates - Eric Friedman (guitar), Ryan Bennett (drums), and Tanner Keegan (bass). Together, they’ve delivered an album that demonstrates the evolution of Tremonti’s sound, one that balances technical prowess with emotional depth, all while keeping the band's hard-hitting energy intact.
The album kicks off with the expansive "The Mother, The Earth and I," where psychedelic guitar lines intertwine with Tremonti’s reverberating vocals, building to an unforgettable solo. It's a bold introduction, setting the stage for what follows. The album's first single, "Just Too Much," emerges with a muscular riff and an anthem-like energy that pushes listeners to keep moving forward, no matter the challenge.
In stark contrast, “It’s Not Over” serves as the emotional core of The End Will Show Us How, its sparse instrumentation highlighting Tremonti’s raw, heartfelt delivery. The title track itself is a masterclass in dynamics, beginning with delicate harmonics before crescendoing into a wah-heavy solo that is as technically impressive as it is emotionally charged.
Tremonti's lyrical themes of resilience and perseverance are reflected throughout the album, with tracks like “Tomorrow We Will Fail” offering an urgent call to action, while “I’ll Take My Chances” carries a defiant "seize the day" message over a barrage of tight, metallic instrumentation. The closing track, "All The Wicked Things," blends futuristic synths with crashing distortion and one of Tremonti’s most fiery guitar solos yet, capping the album off in unforgettable fashion.
With The End Will Show Us How, Tremonti continues to push boundaries, both in terms of his technical abilities and his emotional range. The album is a testament to his ceaseless creativity, a powerful addition to his already storied discography, and a clear indication that Mark Tremonti’s musical journey is far from over.
