Tremonti’s New Single “Just Too Much” Is More Than Enough

New single & music video arrive alongside album/tour announcement.

By Bryan F. Ahearn

Yesterday, Mark Tremonti announced the January 10, 2025 release of “The End Will Show Us How,” the sixth album by Tremonti—the 4-piece band bearing his namesake and trademark rock metal grit.

And if the first single “Just Too Much” is any indication, the band’s sixth album will have more than enough to keep fans interested, and likely grow new ones as well.

The 3:46-minute track starts off as a distorted, plodding, march—almost at a heartbeat’s pace, before tearing resiliently into the deep-thoated lyrics, “To love/to pain/to thrive again.”

Mark’s vocals, coming right out of the gate in that powerful upper register of his, bring about almost a brightness to this track (reminiscent to “Take You With Me), yet set against with that slow, stomping, almost dirge-like rhythm, provide an intriguing blend for the metal listener. 

Light and darkness, co-existing at once, and it’s a thing of beauty. It’s almost hypnotic to listen to, and to think about, and it’s what I find most intriguing about this track.

References to personal accountability, control and fate abound throughout the lyrics, culminating into a chorus that confesses, “Sometimes, it’s just to much,” and, is where fell in love with this song.

Because when one of your heroes—one with so many accomplishments and such immense talent—admits that sometimes, something can be too much, suddenly, he became more human to me—more accessible and, an even bigger inspiration.

If that’s even possible.

Of course, snapping out of it and tearing myself away from thinking about some of my favorite lyrics in quite some time, I returned to find in that song, as expected, incredible musicianship laced throughout. 

Eric Friedman throttles a great rhythm guitar, while Tanner Keegan’s bass rumbles alongside the rhythmic thundering of Ryan Bennett on drums. And yes, (spoiler alert!) yet another awesome guitar solo by Mark Tremonti himself.

Couple this new track, alongside a new music video, tour announcement, and of course all sorts of album pre-orders featuring the brilliant album art work by Dan Tremonti, and I found that “Just To Much” has, somehow, given me much more than expected.

Tremonti. They’re at it again.

Buckle up…
