Alice In Chains has release a music video for its new song, "The One You Know," from the band's forthcoming new album.
The new song is from the band's upcoming sixth album, the follow-up to 2013's The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. "The One You Know" is very much in the vein of Alice In Chains' work since the band's 2009 comeback album, Black Gives Way to Blue. The song is swampy and dark with melancholic harmonies and a persistent, crawling back beat — everything fans loves about Alice In Chains.
"It’s got our fingerprint," Jerry Cantrell said to Guitar World last month about the record. "And we’re really proud of the material that we wrote and the performances we captured. There’s some really heavy s***, some really ugly stuff, some real beautiful stuff, some weirdo trippy s***… It’s good!”
The album title has yet to be announced. It is expected to be released while Alice in Chains is on tour between now and late-September.
"It's not that we were keeping it a secret — we just didn't want to say a whole lot about [the album] until we had something to say," he said.
Rumors that Alice in Chains was working on a new album began to circulate in December after the band announced tour dates in the spring, with bassist Mike Inez also revealing the band had booked studio time.
The new album will be Alice In Chains' third with William DuVall on lead vocals.
