Alice In Chains - Hollow/The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here

"Two weeks ago, Alice In Chains began posting the lyrics from their brand new song, 'Hollow' to @aliceinchains on Instagram, asking you, the fans to create an image inspired by or featuring a word or phrase from the lyrics. Fans from around the world took to Instagram, sharing their photo interpretations of each lyrical phrase."

Here is the final product from YOU all:



"Hollow" was available for purchase on iTunes beginning January 8th, 2013 with the official music video dropping on January 10th and their latest single "Stone" coming out officially on March 26th.  You can check all of them out both below.

"There's some real filth in there. That's intentional, and that's also just how we sound together.  We're trying to make a record that we dig and we're trying to keep the bar high for ourselves and see if we can get past it, and I think that we did again. And of course you want people to dig it too and to respond to it, and to have that start happening is satisfying." -Cantrell

"Read a fucking paper. What I've seen is the most basic message to most faith systems is in contradiction with how it gets applied. The human element seems to fuck it up. It seems to fuck up the basic truths of acceptance, loving your brother, helping each other out, not trying to kill each other or steal each other's shit. Those are all pretty good ideas. And most of your major religions have those things as basic tenets of the belief system. It always amazes me that some of the most hateful and hurtful things are done in the name of some sort of belief system." -Cantrell

"I don't think you'll be surprised by anything you hear.  It's us. But it's also really unique. It's got all the elements of any record we've put out, but it's unlike any record we've put out. Basically, it's the next chapter in the ALICE IN CHAINS book, and it's going to be a big one." -Cantrell
