}} ''All I Was'' is the debut studio album by Tremonti, a band formed by the lead guitarist for the American rock bands Creed and Alter Bridge, Mark Tremonti. Produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette, the album shows prominent thrash metal influences. It showcases the debut of Tremonti as a lead vocalist and features guitarist, bassist, and backing vocalist Eric Friedman and drummer Garrett Whitlock, both former members of Submersed. The album was released to critical acclaim on July 17, 2012, by FRET12 Records. ==Background== Tremonti has expressed interest in releasing a solo album since 2010. He said of his two main projects in an interview with the ''Nottingham Post'', "The bands are so different. And I write so much. I'm going to do a solo record because there are some songs that I'd hate to think wouldn't see the light of day because they don't work for Creed or Alter Bridge."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview: Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti prepares for Rock City )〕 He decided to do the album during "a three-month window when (Bridge singer ) Myles Kennedy was out with Slash and (singer ) Scott Stapp was doing some touring." He described the album as "melody-driven," and as "a heavier-sounding album," with elements of thrash and speed metal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mark Tremonti Working On Speed/Thrash Metal Album )〕 In an interview with Artistdirect, he said that the album is "probably heavier than either Creed or Alter Bridge," and that it will have "lots of soloing." He again emphasized, however, that it will maintain a strong core melody. Via Facebook, Alter Bridge announced on April 6, 2011, that the tracking for the album had begun, with an accompanying photo of the recording process. On January 20, 2012, Tremonti and FRET12 launched "The Tremonti Project," a website for his solo album where fans can sign up to receive news, previews, live streams, and giveaways.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CREED/ALTER BRIDGE Guitarist MARK TREMONTI Talks Solo Album In New Video Interview )〕 A list of working song titles, the musician lineup (consisting of Tremonti, rhythm guitarist and bassist Eric Friedman, and drummer Garrett Whitlock), and the album title were officially announced on the webpage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Tremonti Project )〕 On March 20, the album artwork was revealed.
