ALICE IN CHAINS has posted a brand new song called "A Looking In View" online at the band's official web site, AliceInChains.com. The track is taken from the group's upcoming album, "Black Gives Way To Blue", which is due out on September 29. ALICE IN CHAINS has also announced its first round of North American tour dates in support of the record, beginning on September 4 in Washington D.C. That run will be preceded by a show with KID ROCK in Detroit on July 18 and an appearance at California's new Epicenter festival on August 22.

"Black Gives Way To Blue" is the first all-new ALICE IN CHAINS album in 14 years and the first to feature singer William DuVall.

Most of the album was recorded at Studio 606, a Northridge, California facility owned by FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl. ALICE drummer Sean Kinney told The Pulse of Radio that working at their friend's place was a pleasure. "Dave's got a, he's done a thing or two in his life, you know, and he's such an inspirational, cool dude too," he said. "He's just not like a rock dork that treats people like shit because he did well. He's really down to earth, great guy, and so it's nice to be around people like that."

About "A Looking In View", ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist Jerry Cantrell said, "The song basically speaks to any number of things that keep you balled up inside. A cell of our own making with an unlocked door that we choose to remain in. Focusing our attention inward instead of reaching out to a much larger world. I think this is common to us all."

Original vocalist Layne Staley died in April 2002.

ALICE IN CHAINS will hit some European festivals in August before starting its North American trek.
