Jerry Cantrell will release his new solo album I Want Blood on October 18 via Double J Music. The album features guest performances from Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), and more.
The announcement coincides with the album’s first single, “Vilified.” I Want Blood was co-produced by Cantrell and Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age) and recorded at Barresi’s JHOC Studio in Pasadena, California.
Cantrell comments:
“This record is a serious piece of work. It’s a motherfucker. It’s hard, no doubt, and completely unlike Brighten. And that’s what you want, to end up in a different place. There’s a confidence to this album. I think it’s some of my best songwriting and playing, and certainly some of my best singing.”
He adds:
“‘Vilified’ travels a lot of places in just four and a half minutes. It’s got a ferocity and really aggressive vibe to it.”
