Alice In Chains Release New Song “Hollow”
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.

‘The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live’ Concert Event to Make Streaming Debut Next Month
AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
