JERRY CANTRELL Lightens Up A Bit On New Single “Afterglow”

Jerry Cantrell is back with his second solo single of the year “Afterglow”, and it’s fairly hard turn from the much heavier “Villified”. The singles come from Cantrell‘s new solo album I Want Blood, dropping this October 18 via Double J Music

“The incredible Matt Mahurin and I created a moving piece of film to accompany the song,” said Cantrell of the song and video. “Check it out. If you want blood, you got it.”

Mahurin added: “Two of my all-time favorite videos I’ve directed are ‘No Excuses’ and ‘Angry Chair’ for Alice In Chains in the early 1990’s. To be able to once again offer my visual work to Jerry‘s ‘Afterglow’ some thirty years later was a blast. From opera aria to pop tune, everybody sees a movie playing in their mind’s eye when they listen to a song. Jerry inspired a welcome fever dream that I was grateful to lure out of my mind’s eye.”

I Want Blood features contributions from bass heavyweights Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) and Robert Trujillo (Metallica), drummers Gil Sharone (Team Sleep, Stolen Babies) and Mike Bordin (Faith No More), and backing vocals from Lola Colette and Greg Puciato (Better Lovers, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan).
