The project marks the follow-up to the Alice In Chains guitaist’s 2021 record, “Brighten.”
"This record is a serious piece of work. It's a mother****er," says Cantrell. "It's hard, no doubt, and completely unlike 'Brighten'. And that's what you want, to end up in a different place. There's a confidence to this album. I think it's some of my best songwriting and playing, and certainly some of my best singing.”
Co-produced by Cantrell and Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins), “I Want Blood” was recorded at Barresi’s JHOC Studio in Pasadena, CA.
The album features contributions from Duff McKagan (Guns N’Roses) and Robert Trujillo (Metallica), drummers Gil Sharone (Team Sleep, Stolen Babies) and Mike Bordin (Faith No More), and backing vocals from Lola Colette and Greg Puciato (Better Lovers, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan).
Cantrell recently announced dates for a North American tour in support “I Want Blood”, with shows starting January 31 in Niagara Falls, ON.
