ALICE IN CHAINS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The latest album from Alice In Chains, and the first to be released in five years (following up 2013's The Devil Put The Dinosaurs Here), Rainier Fog was released in 2018 and now already hears a full reissue via their label BMG. Nominally and in content, the album was inspired by the volcanic Mount Rainier, which overlooks Seattle and looms large like a geo-musical behemoth over the seattle Music scene, from which the band first emerged alongside the likes of Nirvana, Screaming Trees and Soundgarden. A paean to the band's hometown, Rainier Fog lands as a heady mixture of oral history, suspense, together with all the signature hallmarks of AIC's grunge-sludge. It now comes reissued in coloured vinyl 2xLP form.
