Alice In Chains’ “Rainier Fog” is a haunting auditory journey that immerses listeners in a
dense atmosphere of introspection and melancholy. Released in 2018, the album’s title track,
“Rainier Fog,” encapsulates the band’s signature grunge sound, blending gritty guitar riffs
with Layne Staley’s successor William DuVall’s soulful vocals. The music unfolds like a
misty landscape, mirroring the album’s title inspired by the ominous Seattle weather. The
lyrics evoke a sense of longing and reflection, weaving a narrative that navigates through
personal struggles and the passage of time. The song’s dynamic shifts create an emotional
ebb and flow, accentuated by Jerry Cantrell’s masterful guitar work. “Rainier Fog” stands
as a testament to Alice In Chains’ ability to capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest’s
moody ambience while delivering a powerful and resonant musical experience.
