About Alice In Chains
Alice In Chains is a grunge band from Seattle, WA, formed in 1987.
Alice in Chains formed in Seattle in 1987 around guitarist Jerry Cantrell and singer Layne Staley, with drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Starr. Cantrell's downtuned, metal-weighted riffing set them apart from their punkier Seattle peers, and his voice locked together with Staley's to form the band's signature sound. Albums such as 'Facelift' and 'Dirt' dealt openly with addiction and despair, while the acoustic EPs 'Sap' and 'Jar of Flies' showed a quieter, folk-tinged side.
Mike Inez took over on bass in the early 1990s. After Staley's death in 2002, the band returned with William DuVall sharing vocals alongside Cantrell, and that lineup has since released 'Black Gives Way to Blue', 'The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here' and 'Rainier Fog'.
