Music Soup

It has long talked of a return in the studio of the band that was Layne Staley, after the various reunion that have susseguite since 2005, but few days ago, the magazine Blabbermouth.net gave official confirmation: thirteen years after the release of ‘Latest album namesake and six years after the death of the historian frontman, Alice In Chains come in the studio to record a new Music album.

The band had already convened in July in a study of North Hollywood to try the new songs with William Duvall (pictured), singer Comes With The Fall, assisted by a producer for hours without name. Registrations will begin in October, while the output of disc speaks of the first months of 2009. As always, when a group replaces a member charismatic - and it was Laney, eccome - the risk of a flop is around the corner.

After the jump, for example, you can see the video of “Man in the box” sung live by its Duvall: apart from the timbre completely different - but that there is also - what seem to miss the new frontman is the charisma that characterized suffered Laney, who died - remember - in 2002 due to un’overdose. You who do you think?

While rising prices through the roof of what at present seems to be the last New York concert of New Varieties of Police, the band has decided to leave to posterity track of this last year on the road.

To avoid that after August 7 (when in Madison Square Garden will consume the last stage before the final dissolution) someone could forget his reunion, the band will publish within the year a CD + DVD live. As stated by drummer Stewart Copeland, the material included in the box was registered in Buenos Aires during the concerts last December.

Along with recordings of live pieces, fans will also tour a documentary, directed by Jordan Copeland (or the son of drummer Stewart). “Better Than Therapy”, this title, will be included inside the DVD, expected later this year.
