ALICE IN CHAINS’ Jerry Cantrell Drops New Song “Atone”, Announces New Solo Album

Just shy of 20 years after his 2002 album Degradation Trip, Alice In Chains vocalist and guitarist Jerry Cantrell is back with a new album titled Brighten due out October 29. Cantrell is now streaming the single “Atone”, which he said has been hanging around in his head for a while.

“As a fan of Ennio Morricone scores and Sergio Leone movies, it’s got a bit of that outlaw vibe, with a cool psycho hillbilly stomp. It’s been kicking around in my head for like 20-plus years, haunting me. Sometimes it takes a while for a good idea to find its best form. Such was the case with ‘Atone’.”

Brighten features the following musicians outside Cantrell:

“It was like an old school seventies record where a multitude of musicians played. So it’s not a set band,” said Cantrell of the lineup. “I got to make music with a bunch of people I never had before, along with friends like Duff, Tyler, and Gil who I’ve worked with previously.”
