"Addicted To Pain"comes off ALTER BRIDGE's long-awaited fourth album, "Fortress", which will be released on October 8 via EMI Label Services.

From the opening acoustic guitar work on "Cry Of Achilles" to the closing riff of the epic title track, it is clear ALTER BRIDGE are back to reclaim their place as one of hard rock's standout acts. The album was helmed by longtime ALTER BRIDGE producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, known for his work with FALLING IN REVERSE, STORY OF THE YEAR and INCUBUS, to name a few. The debut single, "Addicted To Pain", is currently impacting radio and is looking to continue the chart-topping success ALTER BRIDGE has come to know around the world. The band released a visualizer video on YouTube on August 7 so fans could hear the new single and that has been viewed over 340,000 times to date.
