Alice In Chains Return with “Rainier Fog”
Alice in Chains have released their sixth studio album, entitled Rainier Fog. The new record is a bit of a tribute to their hometown of Seattle as the name refers to nearby Mount Rainier. They also returned to Studio X, formerly Bad Animals Studios, where they recorded their 1995 self-titled album. Bassist Mike Inez told United Rock Nations that it’s also a benchmark of their career at this point.
“It’s a cool record. Records are like signposts in your career, and this is where we’re at in 2018,” he said. “We don’t think about it too much — we don’t go, ‘Oh, we’ve gotta do a record like this,’ or, ‘We’ve gotta do a record like that.’ There’s a filtering process — everybody throws their riffs and stuff in the meat grinder, or coffee machine, and 10 songs drip out of that over the course of a year.”

Rainier Fog is available now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
