WHO: ALICE IN CHAINS
WHAT: Playing Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino
WHEN: Sept 1
WHY (You’ll Care): The show will see the quartet of vocalist/guitarist Jerry Cantrell, vocalist/guitarist William DuVall, drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Inez playing an electrifying mix of classic songs and new tracks from upcoming album RAINIER FOG, which comes out the day before the gig.
RAINIER FOG marks a few firsts for Alice In Chains: in addition to being their first album in five years, it’s their first album for BMG and their first time recording in their hometown of Seattle in more than 20 years (worth noting that the album title is a tribute to Seattle, which Cantrell discussed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone).
They recorded at Studio X, the same facility where they tracked 1995’s self-titled Alice In Chains album (back when the studio was known as Bad Animals). The RAINIER FOG recording process also saw the band spend time at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles and at the Nashville studio of producer Nick Raskulinecz.
RAINIER FOG is the third straight Alice In Chains album recorded with producer Nick Raskulinecz and engineer Paul Figueroa. The album was mixed by Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool).
Over the course of the past few weeks, the band has given fans a couple of album previews, releasing “The One You Know” (you can see the video HERE) and “So Far Under,” which can be heard HERE.
Both “The One You Know” and “So Far Under” are available as instant downloads by clicking HERE to pre-order RAINIER FOG.
RAINIER FOG follows 2013’s Grammy nominated album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which entered Billboard’s Top 200 chart at No. 2 and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts and No. 1 on the iTunes Rock Album Chart. Its first two singles, “Stone” and “Hollow,” both shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Over the course of their remarkable career, ALICE IN CHAINS have garnered multiple Grammy nominations, sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and amassed a diehard international fanbase whose members number in the millions. They remain one of the most successful and influential American rock bands of all time.
