Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Grind by Alice in Chains

Today's Metal Track is Grind by Alice in Chains. This is off of their self-titled 1995 album which is commonly referred to as the "Three-legged Dog Album" because it features Sunshine the Dog on the cover. Sunshine the Dog also makes and appearance in this video. The CD packaging came in three different color schemes. One with a transparent purple jewel case with a translucent yellow-green spine, one with the color scheme reversed and a monochrome version. I have the yellow-green case with the purple spine.

During the time before this album was released there were many rumors floating around such as "Layne was dead", "Jerry was dead", "the band had broken up", and "Layne had lost fingers due to his drug use." The band addresses those rumors in the opening verse:

In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral 'fore the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it's a see through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah
