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.
10 days. And still no leak? Well played, AIC.
What the hell? How hasn’t this leaked yet?
Here’s a little SOMETHING to hold us over. Pretty damn good (and first ever) live performance of “Phantom Limb” (audio only)

I’m guessing that either Monday or Tuesday will yield a full album stream being posted by the band or through someone. I’d figure Tuesday because it’s a week prior to release but with Microsoft announcing the new Xbox Tuesday the internet will all be distracted…Monday may make more sense. Or they could fuck us and not stream anything…lol.

Technically it comes out in 5 days being Europe gets it on the 24th. Still surprised the album has lasted this long. At this point I don’t care when it leaks now since the official release is only a week away.
They could at least upload the iTunes samples or something. The wait is horrible.
C’mon already!
Whatever AiC is doing they are doing it well forit to not have leaked yet. Im Impressed but the wait is killing me haha leak dammit. I need new AiC!!
Good for them, too. Smartly not sending out advanced ‘media preview’ copies for reviews and promotion is one bright thing they may have done.
I’d definitely have to agreethere ^.^
Just 8 more days :D
I can’t believe it hasn’t leaked yet!!
I have a strong suspicion this will leak within the next 24 – 48 hours ;)
do yo know something we dont knowwww lol
Nah. Just a safe bet. People are beginning to post tweets about getting their advanced copy.
Samples available in iTunes
iTunes samples are up. Shouldn’t be long now.
I really dug what I heard in the samples x3 can’t wait to hear the full version of “Voices”
The album has kind of an uplifting vibe. I expected something darker and sludgier.
Yeah I got that feeling to. Buuut its only samples. So younever know lol
songs previews available on itunes
To be honest, I think there is waaaayyy too much Jerry from just listening to the samples. I was excited to hear William with a bigger role but it appears he doesn’t. Still excited for the album though.
Who uses iTunes anymore? Google unlimited music baby
Yes, it has been leaked. But I won’t say where you can find it…
Well thanks. But what was the point of commenting then?
Cornhole!
Lies!!!
bummer
wtf it hasn’t leaked yet ? Holy dinosaur! how big is that dinosaur sitting on that album and no devil can pull it!
bummer
Expect a leak on Friday the earliest. That’s when it comes out in Europe.
2 more days. fuuuuuuuuuuuck xD
Some bloggers say they received the album yesterday. Eddie Trunk got his copy on May 21st: http://grungebook.tumblr.com/post/51037197527/eddie-trunk-new-aic-cd-tweet. Really hoping this gets leaked today.
Hopefully they post soon I am soo anxious!
So far it sounds like half an AIC album and half a Jerry Cantrell album. That’s not a bad thing though. Lab Monkey sounds like something on Dirt and Hung on a Hook sounds sick. I need to hear this album now
Better download on All Leaks.
no way to be better a website that publishes the album advance without links.
dunno, but at least you can choose zippyshare, really fast server
Yup. It has freak-a-leaked!
finally a fucking LEAK
Finalllyyyy. Fucking hell :D. NEW AIC!!! YAY!!!! x3
Not sure why anyone would bother to report this leaked w/out including a link of some kind… to the leak. Or is it just me?
use your brain ;)
it says right at the top of the page it was leaked at “Mediaboom”
if you don’t know what that is then google it
AND since it leaked over there you can safely expect it across the globe now..
so pick where ya wanna get it and just look lol
no need for links to be spoon fed to us
the russians are the best for leaks
Pretty decent album. Not as good as BGWTB in my opinion but it still kicks ass!
