“Alice in Chains”, the self-titled third studio album by Alice in Chains, is a dark and brooding masterpiece that captures the band’s grunge sound at its most raw and emotional. Often called the “Tripod” album because of its three-legged dog cover, it delves into themes of addiction, isolation, and inner conflict. Featuring tracks like “Grind,” “Heaven Beside You,” and “Again,” it stands as one of the band’s most powerful and introspective releases.

This exclusive 2LP vinyl variant is on “Translucent Highlighter Yellow w/ Black & White Splatter” wax and limited to 4000 copies.

Alice in Chains is an American metal/rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist and songwriter Jerry Cantrell and original lead vocalist Layne Staley. The initial lineup was rounded out by drummer Sean Kinney, and bassist Mike Starr(who was replaced in 1993 by Mike Inez).

Although widely associated with grunge music, the band’s sound incorporates heavy metal and acoustic elements. Since its formation, Alice in Chains has released five studio albums, three EPs, two live albums, four compilations, and two DVDs. The band is known for its distinct vocal style which often included the harmonized vocals of Staley and Cantrell.
