From the Creed Website:
One of the most successful songwriting partnerships and groups in
the history of the music business disbands after nearly a decade together.
New York --- After nearly a decade together, Creed has decided to disband.
During their 8 years and 3 albums together (My
Own Prison, Human Clay, Weathered) Creed achieved countless
Rock & Roll milestones and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. With their
unprecedented success at radio and their captivating live shows, Creed became
one of the most successful acts to rule the charts over the past ten years.
Creed songwriter/ guitarist Mark Tremonti has decided to join forces with Creed
drummer Scott Phillips, original Creed bassist Brian Marshall and former
Mayfield Four singer/ songwriter Myles Kennedy. The new band, named Alter
Bridge, will release their debut album on Wind-up Records on August 10th of this
year. Expect a promotional acoustic tour of radio stations later this Summer,
followed by a worldwide tour to begin in late August or early September.
Creed songwriter / singer Scott Stapp has been busy in the studio writing and
recording over the past several months. His first post-Creed recording will be
featured on an album coming on August 31st via Wind-up Records that will pool
together superstar talent, as they individually offer compositions inspired by
the film The Passion of the Christ. Simultaneously to tracking his
contributions to the Passion title, Stapp will continue to work with producer 7
Aurelius, and has joined forces with Canadian rockers The Tea Party to work on
his solo debut.
On the dissolution of Creed, Tremonti commented, "It's kind of sad to end a
chapter of your life, but it's also exciting to be starting a new one. We'll
always be proud of the music we made with Creed, but Alter Bridge gives me the
opportunity to start over with a different perspective and a more evolved
direction. This band begins and ends with the love of the music." Phillips
continues, "Creed was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I'm really
excited to be starting over as well. The most significant things that we are
taking from the Creed experience are the lessons that we learned. We truly
believe that the decisions we've made for our future are the right ones. After
writing and rehearsing the new material, we are confident that we've made the
right choices."
Stapp shared, "Creed was one of the most amazing journeys through music and
friendship I am blessed to say I was a part of. I made memories I can never
replace! I just want to thank the fans who supported us and became a part of the
Creed experience. We could not have accomplished anything without you!(fans)."
Also in 2004, Wind-up Records will be releasing a Creed Greatest Hits
compilation. Details will be made available as plans for the album take shape.
Creed will live on in the music and the memories.
