Granted, Alter Bridge's songs sometimes border on a more humanistic faith perspective. "One Day Remains" mentions having faith and questioning "the strength inside," which makes you wonder where exactly Kennedy and Tremonti place their hope. "The End Is Here" similarly declares, "For the rest of my life, I will find the answers that were always here." Yet while the melodic radio single "Open Your Eyes" is an open-ended anthem of unity, who's to say that the song can't be about oneness in Christ?

Wind-Up Records has been quick to state that Alter Bridge is not a Christian band, and indeed they come just short of pointing to the cross or any specific faith. There's still a lot here for Christians to relate to and build upon, making Alter Bridge the archetypal seeker band, focusing on deeper issues of the soul than most.

Unless specified clearly, we are not implying whether this artist is or is not a Christian. The views expressed are simply the author's. For a more complete description of our Glimpses of God articles, click here
