Jerry Cantrell - I Want Blood (Limited Red Vinyl 2LP)

Dark riffs, sharp melodies and a familiar sense of unease. I Want Blood finds Jerry Cantrell steering back towards the heavier side of his songwriting after the warmer, country-tinged textures of Brighten. From “Vilified” to the title track and the atmospheric closer “It Comes”, the record puts guitar weight and melodic detail on equal footing, with enough space for the songs to stretch beyond a single mood.

As Alice In Chains' guitarist, co-vocalist and principal songwriter, Cantrell helped shape one of the defining sounds of Seattle's early-1990s rock scene. His solo work began with Boggy Depot in 1998, followed by Degradation Trip in 2002 and Brighten in 2021. Released on 18 October 2024, I Want Blood is his fourth solo album, produced with Joe Barresi and featuring contributions from musicians including Robert Trujillo, Duff McKagan, Mike Bordin and Greg Puciato. This limited red double-vinyl edition presents another chapter in a career built on heavy guitars and an unmistakable melodic voice.
