Alter Bridge Releases "Tested And Able" Music Video Ahead Of Final U.S. Tour Leg

The video and its performance focus

Alter Bridge released the official music video for "Tested And Able" on October 6, with the clip framed as a performance-focused look at the band onstage. The track appears on the group's self-titled eighth studio album, which was released on January 9 via Napalm Records and contains 12 new tracks. The video arrives in the lead-up to the final U.S. dates of the band's What Lies Within Tour and is positioned as another showcase of the live energy Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall, and Scott Phillips have brought to stages for more than two decades.

Album context and production

"Tested And Able" is one of 12 tracks on the self-titled album, joining previously released video cuts including "Scales Are Falling," "Playing Aces," "What Lies Within," and "Silent Divide." Longtime producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette returned for the project, which was recorded over two months in 2025 at 5150 Studios in California and at Baskette's studio in Florida. The self-titled effort continues the band's combination of songwriting, intricate musicianship, and soaring melodies that has defined their sound for more than 20 years.

Final U.S. tour leg

The What Lies Within Tour's closing U.S. run is an 18-city trek with support from Big Wreck and Tim Montana. The itinerary opens November 5 at Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia and runs through Cleveland, San Antonio, Anaheim, and Denver before concluding December 5 at Silver Legacy Grande Exposition Hall in Reno, Nevada.
