Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains emerged from the Seattle scene as defining giants of grunge and alternative metal. Known for their dark, heavy sound, intricate vocal harmonies between Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, and poignant lyrics, they created a unique and influential musical legacy.

Their powerful sound, particularly around 1992, masterfully blended the raw angst of grunge with the weight of alternative metal and the dynamics of alternative rock. This era produced landmark albums and iconic singles characterized by sludgy riffs, haunting melodies, and explorations of dark themes.
