American hard rock outfit Alter Bridge resurrected the music-making portion of Creed just as that band announced its official split in 2004. While Creed's singer Scott Stapp embarked on a solo career, the remaining bandmates enlisted vocalist Myles Kennedy and quickly issued a debut, One Day Remains, which peaked at number five on the U.S. charts. With their hard-charging sound and Kennedy's soaring vocals, Alter Bridge remained a fixture on the Billboard 200's Top 20; in fact, 2016's The Last Hero was their highest overall charting effort. They moved confidently into their next decade with 2022's Pawns & Kings, their seventh album overall.
