Biography
Alice in Chains emerged from the Seattle grunge scene in 1987, forging a unique and influential sound rooted in heavy metal and defined by the haunting vocal harmonies of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. Signing with #Columbia Records#, their 1990 debut 'Facelift' and its multi-platinum follow-up 'Dirt' established them as one of the era's most important bands. After a long hiatus and Staley's tragic 2002 death, the band reformed in 2005, adding William DuVall as co-vocalist. This new chapter has proven remarkably successful, yielding acclaimed albums like 'Black Gives Way to Blue' and 'Rainier Fog' and cementing their legacy for a global fanbase.
