Jerry Cantrell shares video for new track, ‘Afterglow’

  • by

Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains) has shared an official video for his new track “Afterglow,” which will appear on his new solo album “I Want Blood,“  available on October 18.

“Afterglow” is the second song from Cantrell’s upcoming album, following “Vilified” which debuted last month. The video for “Afterglow” is created by award-winning artist Matt Mahurin, whose work is noted for blending realism with abstract and surreal elements. Cantrell shared: “The incredible Matt Mahurin and I created a moving piece of film to accompany the song. Check it out. If you want blood, you got it.”

Mahurin shares: “Two of my all-time favorite videos I’ve directed are ‘No Excuses’ and ‘Angry Chair’ for Alice In Chains in the early 1990’s. To be able to once again offer my visual work to Jerry’s ‘Afterglow’ some thirty years later was a blast. From opera aria to pop tunes, everybody sees a movie playing in their mind’s eye when they listen to a song. Jerry inspired a welcome fever dream that I was grateful to lure out of my mind’s eye” 

I Want Blood is co-produced by Cantrell and Joe Barresi and recorded at Barresi’s JHOC Studio in Pasadena, Calif. The album features contributions from Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) and Gil Sharone (Team Sleep, Stolen Babies), as well as Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Greg Puciato (Better Lovers, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan), and Lola Colette.
