Following a solid decade into their career, Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators have announced they will release their new album titled 4 on February 11, 2022, via Gibson Records/BMG. The new album marks Slash’s fifth solo album and fourth overall with his band featuring Myles Kennedy (vocals), Brent Fitz (drums), Todd Kerns (bass & vocals) and Frank Sidoris (guitar & vocals).

A vibrant rock album fueled by memorable guitar hooks and compelling melodies, big choruses, and even bigger riffs; 4 builds on the legacy of the groups’ previous work. That sensibility comes through immediately on the recently released opening track and first single, ‘The River Is Rising’.

Describing the creation of the song, Slash said, “There’s two or three songs on the record that were written during the pandemic; everything else was written before. ‘The River is Rising’ was one of the last songs I wrote before we started pre-production, and because it was so fresh and has a certain groove and energy to it, it was the first thing we really attacked. It’s the newest song on the record, and as for the double-time part, that was something that I came up with and tagged onto the end of the arrangement.”

For 4, Slash and the band traveled across the country together to Nashville, TN, and recorded the new album at the historic RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile), revealing a stunning new sound and style all captured live in the studio - including guitar solos and vocals - a first for the group.

The new album has the added history-making distinction of being the first-ever album to be released on the new Gibson Records label. In light of the 30-year partnership between Gibson and the Grammy award-winning, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Slash, it makes sense the new Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators album 4 will be released via Gibson Records - in partnership with BMG.

In another groundbreaking move, Gibson will commemorate Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators' first studio album with Gibson Records, with a first-ever limited-edition Slash Les Paul Standard 4 Album Edition guitar package that will be released the same day as the album. Only 250 Slash Les Paul Standard 4 Album Edition guitars will be made available for global release on www.gibson.com and at select authorized Gibson dealers.

Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators will kick off a North American headlining tour on February 8, 2022, hitting 28 major cities.
