Alice in Chains Post New Song

2009-06-30 by Super Grover | 33 Comments
Alice in Chains have posted a new song, entitled 'A Looking In View,' to MySpace.

The 7-minute track will likely not be the first single from the album, as is it rumoured that a new track entitled 'Check Your Head' will instead be sent to radio in mid-August.

Black Gives Way To Blue is Alice In Chains' first album since 1995 and the 2003 death of frontman Layne Staley. The group reunited in 2005 with new singer William DuVall.

After first listen jury's out for me right now. I find it interesting that they had Cantrell do the majority of the vocals. Need to give it a couple more listens before I can form an opinion.

How is this really good? Sounds like classic Alice in Chains, Cantrell has WON.

Doesn't sound unlike classic AIC, so I'm really looking forward to this. DuVall isn't hlaf-bad vocally (in fact he's pretty damn good) and Cantrell does great work in this song too. I hope this is a good song to judge the album by

This news article needs to be cleaned up.

I think I will just stick with Dirt.

I wonder how long it will be before NedSnurb comes along and claims how this isn't innovative enough for him?

Great song, sounds true to their original sound, but also fresh. I would like to hear a bit more of DuVall though.

I'm sure he will be more involved on other songs. I don't think people realize just how much singing Jerry Cantrell did on their songs.

Yeah I'm really liking this now. Sorry for the sloppy article I was really trying to get this out into the public as quick as humanly possible.

"ye srsly needs moar guitar wanking"

Ya your right, could have used some arpeggios and maybe some squealies. A good five minute Herman Li guest appearance would have rounded it out. Then Nebsnurb can get his innovation.

Thanks for posting it, romgsom, now I have a clearer picture of what to expect.
That's right BullittMan nobody could possibly deny AIC's innovative nature then

The track is suprisingly good, but it wouldve been much better with Layne than having a nu-metal sounding James LaBrie singing. A little too repetitive as well.

Cannot see the connection with LaBrie.... but the song is pretty neat though... you`ll should chk out cantrell's degradation trip... just to keep company till this comes out :]

Well Cantrell and co. seem like they haven't forgotten their sound, though I can't really say I'm totally impressed by this. Song's a bit above average, and I think I'm coming to the realization that this incarnation isn't going to be nearly the same without Layne

I think judging by this song alone its not really fair to say it isn't going to be nearly the same. I mean, if Layne was still around they could have wrote this song and nobody would have thought they were changing at all. I think this song screams classic alice in chains, and im very happy with the way they are doing things so far.

the production really helps, the riff was sick, but it just gets repetetive. they should trim at least 2 minutes off.

The new song is ace, only people who don't like it are dumbasses still begging for Layne to rise from the dead.

The new song is like a Nuclear implosion to the face... but in a good way. A very, very good way.
