Pictured below is the cover art for The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, the brand new album from ALICE IN CHAINS.

Steve Baltin of RollingStone.com recently spoke to AIC guitarist Jerry Cantrell about The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which is set for a May release. An excerpt follows:

"We made a unique record that's completely different from anything we ever did," comments Jerry. "It encapsulates a period of time, like all records do. You see growth and that the band is moving ahead in new territory that we haven't been to before, but we haven't lost our identity."
"There's some real filth in there. That's intentional, and that's also just how we sound together," Cantrell says of the record's deep, gritty sound. "We're trying to make a record that we dig and we're trying to keep the bar high for ourselves and see if we can get past it, and I think that we did again. And of course you want people to dig it too and to respond to it, and to have that start happening is satisfying."
