Big news for Alice In Chains fans, as singer/guitarist Jerry Cantrell has dropped a bunch of details on us regarding the band’s upcoming album, their first since 2013’s The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here.

Speaking at a celebrity golf tournament, Loudwire reports, Cantrell has told fans what the record will be all about, including a return to the Seattle studio that hosted them years back.

“We are just gearing up to make a record,” he says. “We’ll be moving up to Seattle in about a month and record the record over the summer out there in the same studio we recorded our third record in. So it’ll be kind of fun — go home, make a Seattle record. Hometown boys in a hometown studio.”

The singer-guitarist revealed that it will definitely be in the vein of what fans have come to expect from the band. “Hey, this is what we do,” says Cantrell. “At this age, I can’t really do much else. So we do us, and we’re lucky enough to be able to have the opportunity to still be doing it and making good music and having a good time.”

Don’t expect anything radically different from the band at this stage though, as Cantrell points out that they’re a bit too old to be experimenting.

“At this age, I can’t really do much else,” he says. “So we do us, and we’re lucky enough to be able to have the opportunity to still be doing it and making good music and having a good time.”

“We’ve got really great fans that have been with us through all the years and all the changes and if you’re really lucky as an artist you can make music that transcends generations and keeps moving on, so no complaints.”

There’s no release date set, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
