Rainer Fog marks a few firsts for the band: in addition to being their first album in five years, it’s their first album with BMG and their first time recording in their hometown of Seattle in more than 20 years (worth noting that the album title is a tribute to Seattle). They recorded at Studio X, the same facility where they tracked 1995’s self-titled Alice in Chains album (back when the studio was known as Bad Animals). The Rainer Fog recording process also saw the band spend time at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles and at the Nashville studio of producer Nick Raskulinecz.
Alice in Chains' "Rainier Fog" is a haunting auditory journey that immerses listeners in a dense atmosphere of introspection and melancholy. Released in 2018, the album's title track, "Rainier Fog," encapsulates the band's signature grunge sound, blending gritty guitar riffs with Layne Staley's successor William DuVall's soulful vocals. The music unfolds like a misty landscape, mirroring the album's title inspired by the ominous Seattle weather. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and reflection, weaving a narrative that navigates through personal struggles and the passage of time. The song's dynamic shifts create an emotional ebb and flow, accentuated by Jerry Cantrell's masterful guitar work. "Rainier Fog" stands as a testament to Alice in Chains' ability to capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest's moody ambience while delivering a powerful and resonant musical experience.
