Both a pioneer and a major icon of the Seattle scene of the early 1990s and defender of the old school values of classic rock, JERRY CANTRELL is a sort of anti-guitar hero. He subtlety offers riffs with a grunge aesthetic, dark and heavy but nuanced and eclectic. Far from being content with lazily copying the group that put him in the firmament, Alice In Chains, he traces his path according to his desires and for his own pleasure. And ours.
