Review

"Black Gives Way to Blue" is a monster in Alice in Chains' lineup! Released on September 29, 2009, this album is a phoenix rising from the ashes after the tragic loss of Layne Staley. With William DuVall taking up the vocal torch alongside Jerry Cantrell, the band roars back to life, unleashing a torrent of metal and hard rock fury reminiscent of legends like "Dirt" and "Facelift." Listen to tracks like "A Looking in View" and "Acid Bubble" and feel the gritty, aggressive edge tearing through the brooding darkness.

Check out "Check My Brain," "A Looking in View," and "Your Decision" – each a monster packed with thunderous riffs and haunting harmonies. Cantrell and DuVall keep the spirit alive with vocal harmonies that explode with energy and emotion, a true nod to Staley's legacy. The title track is a heart-wrencher. "Black Gives Way to Blue" has Elton John on piano, pouring grief and healing into every note. It’s an epic, soulful salute. This album, forged from sorrow and strength, is a testament to Alice in Chains' resilience, adding a brutally beautiful chapter to their story. - Ben
