Facelift

Alice in Chains

A heavy, sludgy bridge between 80s metal and 90s grunge. Drenched in wah-wah guitar, eerie vocal harmonies, and a dark, rain-soaked Seattle atmosphere.

August 28, 1990 · Columbia (2)

A relentless, heavy-hearted intensity that balances aggressive riffs with haunting, melodic vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic wah-wah talk box riff that opens Man in the Box, sounding like a mechanical groan.
Layne Staley's soaring, agonized vocal peak during the chorus of Love, Hate, Love.
The sudden, crushing rhythmic shift into the main riff of We Die Young.
