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 and company are working on a follow up.
In chatting with Rolling Stone, Cantrell revealed the band will hit the studio early this year. He also mentioned there are no plans for any guests on the album. You might recall Elton John contributed to the title track of the last album.
I can't wait. Hopefully, this will see the light of day by the end of the year!
