Jerry Cantrell’s highly-anticipated new album, “I Want Blood,” is out now, and you can watch the visualizer video for the album’s title track below.
“There’s a confidence to this album,” Cantrell explains. “I think it’s some of my best writing and playing and certainly some of my best singing. There are large chunks of this record where I felt like my face was pressed to the ceiling of my abilities, operating at the top of my capacity.”

The four-minute-plus track opens with a menacing bass line from Duff McKagan, accompanied by Mike Bordin’s building drumbeat, followed by Cantrell’s ominous first words… “I Want Blood.” The song was co-produced, as the album was, by Cantrell and Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins).
“I Want Blood” was recorded at Barresi’s JHOC Studio in Pasadena, California, and features contributions from McKagan, Bordin, Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Greg Puciato (Better Lovers, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan), Gil Sharone (Team Sleep, Stolen Babies), and Lola Colette.
A North American tour will be announced soon. Ahead of that, Cantrell plays a sold-out, one-off show at Pappy & Harriet’s on the eve of the album’s release, followed by a brief South American tour, including a stop at Fauna Primavera.
