American singer and guitarist Jerry Cantrell is known for his work with Alice in Chains. He’s also got a successful solo career.

Together with the late Layne Stayley, Jerry Cantrell created an impressive body of work with Alice in Chains. His solo work isn’t too far from the sound of Alice in Chains either, especially not on his recent album “I Want Blood”. This album has contributions by bassists Duff McKagan (Guns n’ Roses) and Robert Trujillo (Metallica), drummers Gil Sharone (Team Sleep, Stolen Babies) and Mike Bordin (Faith No More), and backing vocals by Lola Colette and Greg Puciato (Better Lovers, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan).

The grey cover of the album promises a dark, gloomy record, but that isn’t necessarily the case. In between the louder songs there’s plenty of room for introspection, with Cantrell singing in his typical and unique way. Cantrell: “This record is a serious work of art. It is loud, without a doubt, and completely different from the record that came before it, in 2021. I think it has my best songwriter and guitar playing on it, as well as my best vocal performance.” The album was co-produced by Cantrell himself, together with Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins). Cantrell went on a sold-out album tour through the United States at the end of 2024 and played songs by Alice in Chains during those shows as well.
