Thirteen years after they released their self-titled third album, Alice In Chains is working on music for an all-new studio effort. According to Blabbermouth, guitarist Jerry Cantrell has revealed that he, bassist Mike Inez, drummer Sean Kinney and new singer William DuVall have been writing songs for a while, but are taking their time.
Cantrell explained, “We’ve been working about the last four months, and there’s a good bulk of music and a good body of work so far, and we’re having fun.” Jerry added, “We’re taking our time and trying to figure out where William fits in and where we need to step up, and I have all the confidence in the world in the guys.”
In 2006, DuVall replaced Layne Staley, who died in 2002. Cantrell said that the process hasn’t been without growing pains, noting, “The most important thing to me is that we’re all together and, you know, it’s been a tough and painful experience at times, but it’s been very rewarding at the same time.”
Alice in Chains hope to get the album out by the end of the year, but they still have a lot to do. They have yet to begin recording and are currently producer-less. The new music will be the band’s focus, though, as Jerry said they don’t expect to play live this year unless a special event comes up.
