It looks like we have to update our Most Anticipated Albums of 2017 list. On January 11, Alice In Chains bassist Mike Inez revealed to Framus & Warwick that it was the bands first day in the studio for an upcoming record. So this being a full 13 days later, Alice In Chains is either still in the studio knocking out a new album, or the recording process is complete!
“Being in the studio for twenty hours a day isn’t fun, but it’s a great job. But we try to make that our clubhouse and separate that from the business, kind of. So we’re still in that… playing in the sandbox, kind of, for this new record anyways. We’re still getting together in the same city, and plugging in in the same room.
Today is actually our first day [in the studio,] and I’m already late, ’cause I’m here talking to you [laughs], so it shows you how professional we still are.”
This will be Alice In Chains first new album in four years,and its third overall with vocalist William DuVall. Which is also weird, considering this means there are now an equal amount of full lengths with DuVall on vocals and with Layne Staley on vocals.
