Artist: Alice in Chains

Killswitch Engage looking for singer Alice In Chains recording new album Jane's Addiction announce tour dates Stream the new Enter Shikari album Cannibal Corpse announce album release date Black Sabbath was supposed to play Coachella God Forbid announce shows Corrosion of Conformity release new tracks

In the absence of actual new music or substantial information of some kind, I find it kinda hard to get psyched up about the announcement of an album release date in all but a few special cases. But there have been a number of big release date announcements and rumors in the past few days, [...]

Alice in Chains' 2009 comeback album, Black Gives Way to Blue, was a huge risk - replacing a band member as important as Layne Staley is never easy, let alone replacing a band member who was so important and who passed away. But the band pulled it off with flying colors (or, at least, flying [...]

After the success of 20092s Black Gives Way To Blue , Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell has confirmed that the band will record their next album this year. Cantrell told Rolling Stone that AIC "started writing last year" and that they plan to head into the studio in the early part of 2012. The reason there was a delay between albums was due to a health issue on the part of Cantrell. "I had shoulder surgery. I had to get some bone spurs and torn cartilage taken [...]

O guitarrista do Alice In Chains , Jerry Cantrell , revelou que o grupo está trabalhando em um novo disco. Segundo ele, em entrevista para a Rolling Stone gringa, a banda deve entrar em estúdio nos próximos meses e falou que a distância entre este e Black Gives Way to Blue , seu último álbum lançado em 2009, ocorreu por causa de um problema nos ombros do guitarrista. "Eu tive que fazer uma cirurgia no ombro. Precisei cuidar de algumas esporas de galo e cartilagens rompidas, então isso me atrasou um [...]

When Alice In Chains released Black Gives Way To Blue three years ago, I was quite relieved. Relieved because the album still fucking crushed! It was a return to form, with the band reclaiming their throne as one of the kings of modern hard rock/metal. Which is why I'm excited to hear that Jerry Cantrell ...

Two Drummers from Type O Negative walk into a bar...

Erick Serna And The Killing Floor is a one-man-band that crosses between the Black Keys and old-school Southern Rock. The songs have a lot of distorted guitar and heavy bass lines. Along with that they add elements of bluegrass, country, and southern rock into all of this to make a truly unique sound. The Grip is an incredible compilation of songs. Some songs will sound country, others will sound heavy, and others will sound indie. You truly never know what to get with these guys, but no matter what it is, its awesome. [...]

I want to send a huge thanks to Youtube user evaldopalestra2 who was kind enough to upload video rips of pro-shot footage from the SWU Music & Arts Festival in San Paolo, Brazil of four awesome bands: Down, Alice In Chains, Megadeth and Primus. The video quality is fantastic on these. Down is up top and the ...

"The '90s were a challenging decade for metal," opens Loudwire writer Joe Robinson. You got that right! '90s nostalgia hasn't firmly set in for metal yet; Limp Bizkit's new record tanked, less people are interested in Korn than ever, and some of the more credible '90s acts from Europe never even stopped to take a [...]

I may be a month (or two) late with this, but oh well.... ----- I was five when "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was released and " altered the face of the 90s ." Or made Kurt the voice of Gen X'ers . Or however it's being described this week. I wasn't able to appreciate its meteoric rise to the throne of cultural monarchy. I didn't even "discover" Nevermind until I was 14, in 2000. I was there when it turned 10, sure, but by then it wasn't an album anymore. It was a [...]

I'm gonna tell you right now – I don't usually get all "fan-girl" and nervous talking to people, even those I greatly admire on an artistic level. When I was told I was going to be interviewing Rex Brown, the fact that I was going to be talking to someone who helped mold my musical [...]

I'm an irresponsible jerk who is way behind on my RSS reading, so I didn't get to The Deciblog's new interview with one mister Justin Broadrick until today. And fuck me naked with a spoon, because if I had gotten to it sooner, I would have been aware of this part of the chat: Have [...]

Let us beat past the arduous task of re-explaining everything we've mouthed on at great length about here , here , and here . With numerous members of our staff pushing 30, it's no surprise that we have such a loyal early-902s fan base amongst us. We were likely born in a cloud of Aqua Net, only to be raised by ravaging alt-rock wolfpacks, and we're goddamned proud of it! For those 702s alumni out there who could stage dive at Alice Cooper with the best of 'em... stop pickin' on me or I'll use my Wayne [...]

Back in the day, when this place was crawling with forums and chats about random acts of music, we used to poll ourselves. Which album not only set the artist atop of the industry, but stapled them in as musical gods. This week, we take on Seattle grunge pioneers Alice In Chains Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll. =Previous Polls= Kings Of Leon [...]

My colleague Hailie has chosen to write a thoughtful remembrance of Ms. Winehouse. I, however, will be addressing, let's say, a darker side of the story. Anyhow.... This post started out in my head as a simple concept: Yeah, it may suck that Any Winehouse is dead, but - ya know what? - don't waste your time feeling sorry for her or mourning her death. In all likelihood, she did it to herself. While the first autopsy was " inconclusive " (and, as of this writing, concrete evidence of C.O.D. is not [...]

From a rather unlikely source, we now know that Alice in Chains is planning on releasing their next album either this winter or early 2012. That source? Heart's Ann Wilson who spoke to Ultimate Classic Rock about AIC. Wilson said that the new album doesn't have a title yet but that the band sounds "amazing" when playing the new material. She added, "How can Jerry [Cantrell] not sound amazing, but I mean, it really does – they're a monster." New AIC possibly out this year? Damn, 2011 has [...]
