ALICE IN CHAINS: Self titled

Brooding, bruised and unflinchingly heavy, Alice in Chains strips things back to their bleakest core.

Sludge-thick riffs, haunted harmonies and Layne Staley’s wounded vocals create an album that feels both intimate and crushing.

Less polished than their earlier work, this self-titled release is dark, defiant and deeply human - a stark high point of ’90s heavy rock.
