The Black Market (Rise Against Album)
''The Black Market'' is the seventh studio album by American punk rock band Rise Against, released on July 15, 2014 through Interscope Records. A melodic hardcore album, ''The Black Market'' comprises twelve songs that focus on mid-tempo rhythm, vocal hooks, and strong bridge sections.

After touring in support of their 2011 album ''Endgame'', Rise Against took a year-long hiatus, and began recording ''The Black Market'' in January 2014 at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado. The band members employed new recording techniques, such as greater usage of analog signals on a Kemper amplifier, and an Evertune bridge to keep the guitars in tune. ''The Black Market'' debuted at number three on the ''Billboard'' 200, becoming Rise Against's fourth consecutive album to chart within the top ten. The album also charted highly in ...

Evertune
EverTune is an American company that produces the EverTune bridge, designed to keep guitar strings in tune. Background Stringed instruments, particularly guitars, have a tendency to get out of tune during playing, especially if strings are bent. In the late 1980s, Gibson developed a system called the Gibson Robot Guitar which used an onboard computer, motors, and a battery to keep the instrument in tune, but the system was complex and did not gain much marketplace acceptance, according to one report. Guitarist and engineering student Cosmos Lyles came up with a device to keep his guitar in tune, and with the help of engineer Paul Dowd produced a prototype of the EverTune bridge, which uses a spring and lever system that maintains string tension.
