Alice In Chains - ‘Black Gives Way To Blue’

Rating: 10

Make no mistake: Alice In Chains are back in business. From the off, Black Gives Way To Blue is the sound of a band very much reborn and ready for the next chapter. In new addition William DuVall, Jerry Cantrell seems to have found his musical soul-mate and their harmonised lead vocals perfectly balance the churning, angular and, at times, epic off-kilter riffery (eg: the droning groove of Check My Brain which will lodge itself in your grey matter and refuse to shift). This is ‘classic era’ Alice In Chains and then some - the mother of all come backs; you will not be disappointed.
