Alice In Chains

Alice in Chains is one of the most iconic bands to emerge from the grunge movement of the 1990s, with a distinctive sound that blends heavy guitar riffs, haunting vocal harmonies, and great lyrics. Formed in Seattle in 1987 by vocalist Layne Staley and guitarist Jerry Cantrell, the band quickly gained a reputation for their intense live performances and introspective songwriting. Their debut album, "Facelift," released in 1990, featured hits like "Man in the Box" and "Rooster," which showcased their ability to craft memorable hooks and powerful melodies. As Layne Staley's voice became one of the most recognizable in rock music, Alice in Chains continued to push boundaries with their subsequent releases. Their sophomore album, "Dirt," released in 1992, is often cited as a classic of the genre, featuring fan favorites like "Them Bones" and "Down in a Hole." After Staley's tragic passing in 2002, Jerry Cantrell took the reins as lead vocalist, releasing "Black Gives Way to Blue" in 2009, which marked the band's first new material in nearly two decades. Alice in Chains has continued to tour and release new music since then, including their critically acclaimed album "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" in 2013. Throughout their career, they've remained true to their signature sound, earning a reputation as one of the most respected and beloved bands in rock music.
