Grunge pioneers Alice In Chains announced that their seventh album "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" will drop on May 28, 2013. In December 2012, Jerry Cantrell confirmed that the new album was completed after several delays because of his surgery. First single, Hollow, was released back in December. Second single, Stone, has also been released and is being described as having " its fair share of sludge as well, further delving into a dark and unnerving side of alternative rock and atmospheric metal." Both singles are available to buy and you can listen to a radio rip of Stone below. Unfortunately its not the best quality, and lacks bass, but the label wants to keep the track off streaming sites.
Both the official cover, a pre-order link and the full track list has been added. Cantrell has described the album as "We made a unique record that's completely different from anything we ever did. It encapsulates a period of time, like all records do. You see growth and that the band is moving ahead in new territory that we haven't been to before, but we haven't lost our identity." according to an interview with the Rolling Stone.
Pretty stoked about this one.
Me too. Heard them on a late night show promoting their new album and they sounded amazing! I can hardly wait.
God, 48 days until release? I’ll be an old man by then. Feels like I’ve been waiting forever already.
Could not agree more, let the countdown begin.

2 singles (hollow, stone) are now available to purchase. Also 1 track leaked. It’s called “Phantom Limb” and you can find it on youtube or soundcloud.
according to official website, TDPDH will be released may 28th and the cover look like that http://oi45.tinypic.com/sxyptu.jpg
I like this cover and how it shows the devil, but the official cover is only red, like this:

My bet regarding the artwork — they’ll have a red CD case, and when the artwork is placed in the case, you only see skull facing left. Take it out and you see both (or what is included on this page). Not this even matters, because if the music sucks, the coverart sucks. If it’s great, the coverart is awesome and the absurd album name is forgiven.
I strangely love the name of this album.

How is this not leaked yet? That warrants a well-done. BGWTB was leaked real early.
I love the artwork. The devil is there! :P
I’m becoming obsessed with refreshing this page every few hours looking for this leak. I’m also disappointed with the lack of conversation on this thread! What’s up people? I’m definitely digging “Stone”, but “Phantom Limb” is absolutely awesome. Can’t find anything except low quality versions online since it was taken down right after it leaked. Anyone got a lead?
It’s nice to see these guys putting out steady and solid music. Just need Tool to get on board, now.
Ha, Tool. Please release a new album….
Tool was in the studio i heard a while back :)
Yes, very excited! AIC didn’t disappoint at all!
If it’s as good as the last album we’re in for a treat
hopefully better because i found the last one boring..
Cantrell’s solo work and all previous Alice Chains work was better i figured.
I like the song Voices that’s playing during Jerry Cantrell’s part in the video documentary Twenty-Three.
Yeah, sounds so fuckin amazing!
2 weeks to go and still hasn’t leaked? Must be guarding copies with the hounds of hell or something.
or they have sent their album for review to the right people lol
no idea it was coming.. i hope it works out well for the band but the last one didn’t do anything for me :(
Leak already!
How is this not leaked yet? They don’t even have iTunes or Amazon preview up…
How has this not leaked yet? Not even the iTunes and Amazon preview are up yet.
