ALICE  IN  CHAINS  ANNOUNCE  NORTH  AMERICAN  TOUR  DATES      

BAND  RELEASES  “HOLLOW”;  FIRST  TRACK  AND  VIDEO  FROM  UPCOMING  ALBUM  

   "HOLLOW"  HITS  TOP  10  ON  iTUNES  ROCK  CHART  

   NEW  ALBUM  ARRIVING  IN  SPRING  2013  

       

 Los  Angeles,  CA  (January  14,  2013)  –  As  they  gear  up  for  the  spring  release  of  their  much-­‐anticipated  new  album,  multi-­‐platinum  rock  band  ALICE  IN  CHAINS  have  announced  a  North  American  tour  set  to  kick  off  April  25th  at  the  Fillmore  in  Miami  Beach  (see  itinerary  below).      This  past  Thursday,  the  band  teamed  with  VEVO  to  premiere  the  official  companion  clip  for  new  track  “Hollow.”  Shot   by   award-­‐winning   director   Roboshobo   (Metallica,  Mastodon,   GreenDay),   the   hypnotically   mind-­‐trippy  “Hollow”  captures  a  man  closed  off  and  losing  himself  in  an  empty  repetition  of  daily  tasks  until  his  last  thread  with  reality  is  completely  severed.  The  video  can  be  seen  at  http://vevo.ly/U7WPDg  and  the  song,  which  hit  the  top  10  on  the  iTunes  Rock  Chart,  is  available  at  http://t.co/HE12JnVT.      The  video  follows  the  recent  release  of  a  “Hollow”  lyric  clip  that  was  created  by  fans  and  comprised  of  images  submitted  through  Instagram.      Set  for  a  spring  2013  release,  Alice  In  Chains’  upcoming  album  was  recorded  in  Los  Angeles  with  producer  Nick  Raskulinecz  (FooFighters,  Deftones),  who  also  produced  the  band’s  hugely  successful  2009  release  BLACK  GIVES  WAY  TO  BLUE.  That  album  entered  Billboard's  Top  200  at  No.  5,  sold  over  one  million  copies,  spawned  two  No.  1  hit   singles   ("Check  My  Brain"  and  "Your  Decision")  and  a   third   (“Lesson  Learned”)   that  went   top  10,  earned  two  Grammy  nominations  and  saw  the  band  (vocalist/guitarist   Jerry  Cantrell,  vocalist/guitarist  William  DuVall,  drummer  Sean  Kinney  and  bassist  Mike  Inez)  headlining  a  sold-­‐out  international  tour  that  wrapped  at  Madison  Square  Garden  in  New  York  City.      In   a   recent   interview  with  Guitar  World,   Cantrell   said,   "In  my   opinion,   that   record   stood   up   to   anything   else  we've  put  out  in  our  career.  Hopefully,  the  new  album  will  connect  with  people  in  the  same  way."
