Alice In Chains guitarist and co-lead vocalist Jerry Cantrell has announced a new solo album, I Want Blood, due October 18 via Double J Music.
"This record is a serious piece of work. It's a motherfucker," Cantrell says of the collection. "It's hard, no doubt, and completely unlike 'Brighten'. And that's what you want, to end up in a different place. There's a confidence to this album. I think it's some of my best songwriting and playing, and certainly some of my best singing."
Cantrell also dropped "Vilified" as a preview of I Want Blood.
"'Vilified" travels a lot of places in just four and a half minutes," Cantrell continues. "It's got a ferocity and really aggressive vibe to it."
I Want Blood was co-produced by Cantrell and Joe Barresi and was recorded at Barresi's JHOC Studio in Pasadena, California. The album features contributions from bass heavyweights Duff McKagan and Robert Trujillo, drummers Gil Sharone and Mike Bordin, and backing vocals from Lola Colette and Greg Puciato.
