Almost four years has passed since Alice In Chains released their latest album Rainier Fog, but they don't seem to be slowing down at all, as vocalist William DuVall recently told Ireland's Overdrive that the band is intending to work on their next album later this year. It will be the fourth Alice In Chains studio album in a row to feature DuVall, who replaced the band's late original frontman Layne Staley more than 15 years ago.

DuVall said: "Right now we're just coming out of the lockdowns, and we've all been busy doing our own thing. Jerry is out on tour at the moment for his solo album, and I'm doing my thing. We have plans for some live shows in September/October, and I'm sure that will blow off the cobwebs and we'll start looking at some new ideas for the next Alice In Chains album. We had a lot of time imposed on us and I think we're going through this period of catching up on things that we had planned for 2020 [and] 2021, and we're all finally getting to do that now. So, it's kind of like a stopgap and we're just dealing with all of these stockpiled projects that we had planned a few years back. So once we get back up to speed with things and we get these dates underway in late summer, I'm sure it will spark a whole bunch of ideas for the next Alice In Chains studio album."
