ALICE IN CHAINS PUT THEIR HEARTS INTO THE BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE COVER
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 at 4:30pm by Axl RosenbergThe heart image seems fitting somehow, ’cause… I dunno… Layne is dead… but out hearts still beat for him… or… whatever.
Actually, it seems like the band has some kind of heart-fetish for awhile now; a couple of years back, Vince bought this shirt:
So, y’know, feel free to speculate if there’s some larger meaning here, or if they just think that hearts look cool.
Black Gives Way to Blue comes out September 29.

Well, maybe they’re just huge-ass Heart fans. Fellow Seattleatonianites, you know.
When September 29 rolls around, I’m gonna buy this CD. No “Layne is dead” bullshit, no “they should change their name” bullshit. I’ve heard them live with the new singer, he’s really quite good, and the band seems to be in top form, even after all these years. One of my favorite rock bands, then and now.
Album of the year – Fact
Fuck You already
Plus, if you look closely, it’s the same exact picture of a heart. Just, manipulated differently. Just sayin.
The heart needs a nickname…
Valvey?
How about eddie?
Nah, eddie would have everyone referencing them to Pearl Jam again.
MetalSucks should have a contest to name the AIC heart
How bout ALICE?
Genius, I know.
FUCK ALICE IN CHAINS THIS BAND SUCKS!!!!
DEATHCORE>AICFTW!
Then again, your mom swallows.
Jerry Cantrell and friends.
not sure about that cover, was expecting a more of a darker vibe but whatever, the music will still kick ass.
This reminds me of the cover of 36 Crazyfists’ “A Snow Capped Romance”.
Doesn’t matter what the cover looks like, though; I’m still buying the album.
You also can’t forget that HEART was a big influence on Cantrell and one of the main reasons the band uses two vocalists.
King’s X was an influence, as well.
I don’t care what the cover looks like. it’s just going to slide under the passenger’s seat of my car to never be found again anyway. i’m just ready to buy it.
thats funny because its true.
Don’t judge an album by it’s cover. It’s AIC, it can’t be that bad. Gotta check this out pronto.
Just calm down. Everyone likes hearts. Even gay emo ones with veins.
