“The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here” – Alice in Chains – Album Release May 28, 2013

Posted on

Alice in Chains has released their second album since the band regrouped in 2005. The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here was released on May 28, 2013. The band’s guitarist says that this album has all the elements you expect from an Alice in Chains album, but it is also unlike any album they have done before. Two singles have already been released from the album, “Hollow” on December 18, 2012 and “Stone” on March 26, 2013. “Hollow” has been described as a combination of doom or stoner metal with grunge tossed in the mix. It also features an amazing guitar solo.

Alice in Chains originally formed in 1987 and stayed together until they took a break in 2002. In 2005, Sean Kinney, Jerry Cantrell, and Mike Inez reunited in Seattle to raise money for the victims of the tsunami disaster in South Asia. William DuVall joined the band in 2006. Former members include Layne Staley who died in 2002 and Mike Starr who died in 2011.

The artwork on the cover features two skulls which combine to form the image of the devil. The title is based on the belief, that some people have, that the Devil planted dinosaur bones on
