When the late great Layne Staley died in April of 2002, everyone thought Alice In Chains were retiring from the music scene. Staley wasn't just the lead singer of the band, but he was also the soul of Alice In Chains. Almost 10 years after his death, the remaining members of Alice In Chains (Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez & Sean Kinney) are making sure his soul is remembered forever!
Ever since the bands re-inception in 2006, William DuVall has been taking care of the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist roles. The band did several tours through 2008 before finally committing itself to writing and recording "Black Gives Way To Blue". Released in 2009, "Black Gives Way To Blue" took the entire Heavy Music world by storm, due to its sonic perfection! At present time, Alice In Chains are working on material for a NEW record.
