Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong> has largely kept themselves on people’s radar the past few years with some touring and anniversary reissues of both Dirt<\/em> and Jar Of Flies<\/em>. While we haven’t gotten a new Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong> record since Rainier Fog<\/em> in 2018, it seems that at least the band is starting to think about one.<\/p>\n According to Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong> vocalist and guitarist Jerry Cantrell<\/strong> in an interview with Loudwire<\/a><\/em>, the band is working on both “creative” endeavors and non-album things. Though Cantrell<\/strong> notes he just started the promotional cycle for his upcoming solo album I Want Blood<\/em>, and nothing’s gonna happen until that’s over.<\/p>\n “There’s a couple of things that we’re working on, like non-album related,” said Cantrell<\/strong>. “We’re going to jump on a call [soon], we’ve got a few creative irons in the fire, but I’m at the very beginning of this cycle that I’ve committed to so I pretty much kind of keep my focus on this.”<\/p>\n Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong> vocalist William DuVall<\/strong> addressed the topic of a potential new album in a 2023 interview with 105.5 WDHA<\/em>, saying pretty much the same \u2013 everyone in the band has stuff going on.<\/p>\n “I would suppose [new music will happen], right?” said DuVall<\/strong>. “There’s no plans in the offing right now, because we’re all kind of doing other things. But inevitably it seems to kind of circle back.”<\/p>\n He continued: “Right now we’re just coming out of the lockdowns, and we’ve all been busy doing our own thing. Jerry<\/strong> is out on tour at the moment for his solo album, and I’m doing my thing. We have plans for some live shows in September\/October, and I’m sure that will blow off the cobwebs and we’ll start looking at some new ideas for the next Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong> album.<\/p>\n “We had a lot of time imposed on us and I think we’re going through this period of catching up on things that we had planned for 2020 [and] 2021, and we’re all finally getting to do that now. So, it’s kind of like a stopgap and we’re just dealing with all of these stockpiled projects that we had planned a few years back. So once we get back up to speed with things and we get these dates underway in late summer, I’m sure it will spark a whole bunch of ideas for the next Alice In Chains<\/a><\/strong> studio album.”\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
