Alice In Chains vocalist William DuVall is pretty confident the band will begin work on a new record later this year. In an interview with Overdrive, DuVall said he thinks the band's upcoming tour "will blow off the cobwebs" and spark work on the follow-up to 2018's Rainier Fog.
"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."
Alice In Chains will hit the road starting this August with Breaking Benjamin and Bush as support.
