Jerry Cantrell – releases title track of new album, ‘I Want Blood’

Jerry Cantrell’s highly-anticipated new album, I Want Blood, arrives next Friday, with one final sneak peek with the release of the album’s title track. 

“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 track list: 
It Comes
Vilified
Off The Rails
Afterglow
I Want Blood
Echoes Of Laughter
Throw Me A Line
Let It Lie
Held Your Tongue

The album is available on CD, digitally, and multiple 2LP vinyl variants: https://bio.to/JerryCantrell. A bonus spoken word version of each song on I Want Blood is included with each vinyl release.
