With the highly-anticipated new Alice In Chains album Rainier Fog due out any day now (August 24, to be exact), the band have released a third track from it to sharpen your teeth on before sitting down with the full album.
Called 'Never Fade', the track is filled with venomous power chords and a driving menace that keeps it distinctly Alice In Chains. Founding member Jerry Cantrell recently spoke to Rolling Stone about exploring challenging new lyrical themes on the record:
“Maybe it’s a little hard because you have already said so much. I can’t write ‘Them Bones’ again, I can’t write about my dad again. I can’t write about my brother again. I can’t write about that ex-girlfriend again, but it’s easy to be pissed off about something. Stuff still makes me emotional. Stuff still makes me love. I experience things. I see people going through things. Shit happens to you. There’s still stuff to grab, but it’s challenging to me. It’s always the part where I feel I’m stumbling around in the fucking dark.”
