Episodes one and two of Alice In Chains' special Black Antenna movie project, produced and directed by filmmaker Adam Mason, can be seen below. Inspired by the sound of the band's Rainier Fog album, Mason has created a stunning 90-minute sci-fi thriller which will be rolled out in ten episodic segments/videos.

Episode 1: “The One You Know”

Episode 2: “Rainier Fog”

“I’m a longtime fan of the band,” said Mason. “And this was an opportunity to do something fresh and inspiring from an indie filmmaking side. The sound and vision between album and film are closely intertwined - it was a brilliant synergy that led to a really unique project.”

“We’ve always toyed with the idea of creating videos for every song on one of our albums,” said drummer Sean Kinney. “Not only did we do that for Rainier Fog, it got totally out of hand and we made a whole goddamn movie. Everything that will be seen in the videos will be footage from Black Antenna to preface the complete film’s release.” Check out the official trailer:

Last month, Alice In Chains released a lyric video for the title track of their Grammy nominated album, Rainier Fog (BMG).
