SAY WELCOME BACK TO AN OLD FAVORITE

In 1987 in Seattle Washington, Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley formed Alice in Chains, a band whose music incorporates grunge, heavy metal, rock and alternative. Although Stanley’s death put a halt in the band’s success, new lead singer William DuVall has allowed the group to continue producing their distinctive sound.
