Though some fans found it inherently distasteful that metal-leaning grunge rockers Alice in Chains carried on after the 2002 death of Layne Staley, replacing him with soundalike William DuVall, the bulk don’t seem to mind. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell, after all, had been one of the band’s core songwriters, and 2009’s Black Gives Way to Blue found him in fine form, providing 11 moody, convincingly bleak songs in the spirit of the band’s heyday output. They followed it up in 2013 with The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which featured some big, catchy songs from Cantrell. Their most recent effort, 2018’s Rainier Fog, debuted at number one on Billboard’s rock charts and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Album.
