Grunge legends Alice In Chains have released a lyric video for their new single “Stone”, which comes from the band’s upcoming album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here (out May 28th). The video can be seen below.

What gets me about this lyric video is that it’s obvious quite a bit of footage was filmed. Why release a lyric video when with a little bit more work an actual video could’ve been made? Shoot the band performing the song in a decrepit warehouse for a few hours and you’ve got all you need for an actual video, albeit one that isn’t very memorable. Perhaps the band is going to release something that is more on par with the video for “Hollow”? Who knows? READ MORE

Alice In Chains Announces Release Date For ‘The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here’: Begins To Reveal Album Artwork

Grunge rockers Alice In Chains has announced that their fifth studio album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, will be released on May 14th. It is the follow up to 2009′s Black Gives Way To Blue. Below are some song titles.

In addition to the release date, AiC has begun unveiling the official album artwork through a pretty interesting means. Fans have to tweet at the band in order to peel back a layer of red that is overlaid on the image. Below is a beginning image and one of the current state of the reveal.

Also, and this is pretty awesome, Blabbermouth user TheSorcesressKnight has come up with a rather interesting theory on the full cover reveal, which shows that the dinosaur skull, when mirror-imaged and laid over top of itself, creates the head of the Devil. Thus, “the Devil put dinosaurs here”. READ MORE

On top of that, the band has released a making-of clip for their latest video “Hollow”, which you can watch below.

Personally, I’m incredibly excited to hear the new album. I’ve been an AiC fan for many, many years and really enjoyed Black Gives Way To Blue. READ MORE

Grunge rock band Alice In Chains have released a video for a new song entitled “Hollow”, which you can watch below. The pictures in the video were cultivated from two weeks of fans submitting pictures via Instagram that they felt represented lyric snippets that the band released each day. The song comes from their as-of-yet-untitled follow up to 2009′s Black Gives Way To Blue. The new album has an unspecified Spring 2013 release date.

“Hollow” will be available for purchase on iTunes on Jan. 8th, 2013.

Listening to the song, it’s everything I could want from Alice In Chains. It has the haunting vocal harmonies that AIC is known for as well as the dissonant yet melodic chord progressions. I was already excited for the new album. Now my excitement has been pushed into overdrive. READ MORE

In a recent interview with Guitar World, Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell discussed the follow up album to 2009′s Black Gives Way To Blue, which has an unspecified 2013 release date. The album marks the second release since the passing of original singer Layne Staley and was recently completed with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones) and engineer Paul Figueroa.

Cantrell states, “It’s like having to deal with the sophomore jinx for the second time in our career.”

He continues, saying, “In my opinion, [Black Gives Way To Blue] stood up to anything else we’ve put out in our career. And this new one is right up there as well.”

More information will be available in the January issue of Guitar World. Now, tell me, is anyone else as excited for this new album as I am? I seriously cannot wait to hear it! READ MORE

In a recent interview with RollingStone, Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell opened up about the long-awaited new studio album, which is a follow up to 2009′s Black Gives Way To Blue. The new album was delayed when Cantrell underwent shoulder surgery but plans are no back on track.

“It‘s time to get to work and the material is really interesting, the body of work that we’ve done. It’ll be as different as any one of our records is to any other, and it’ll also be just as recognizable. It’s an Alice record, for sure.”

Whereas the last album was a tribute to the late AIC singer Layne Staley, the new album will be the next step forward. Cantrell expands upon this idea, “”Albums, to me, are like snapshots of periods of time, and it’s kind of a mosaic of all the people involved. It’s a process that you go through to make it happen lyrically and musically. It’s always been our style to tell our story.”

Cantrell hopes the album will come out either late this year or early next year.

Alright readers, what do you think? I can’t wait to hear some new AIC material, so I’m beyond excited to see what the new album sounds like. READ MORE
