Alice in Chains founder/guitarrist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell has announced I Want Blood, his fourth solo album set to release on October 18.
This record marks a return of the darker and heavier side of Degradation Trip, and brings back former collaborators Robert Trujillo (Metallica) on bass and Mike Bordin (Faith No More) on drums. Other guest features include Gil Sharone (Team Sleep), Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) and Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan).
In regards to the album title, Jerry stated:
"If you’re lucky, you get the title from one of the core tracks, or something that embodies the work. I had both with the track I Want Blood. It seemed to fit the tone because it’s a hard-hitting record – a proper representation of what you may experience if you choose to dive into it.”
