Which grunge band recorded the album Dirt, released in 1992?
Answer
Alice in Chains
Answer
Alice in Chains
Alice in Chains recorded the 1992 album Dirt.
Dirt was released on September 29, 1992, by Columbia Records. It was Alice in Chains' second studio album and became one of the defining heavy records associated with the Seattle grunge movement. The album combined sludgy guitar riffs, bleak lyrics, and the vocal blend of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell.
Its songs included “Would?,” “Them Bones,” “Down in a Hole,” and “Rooster.” Several tracks reflected addiction, grief, war, and personal conflict, although the album is not simply an autobiographical narrative.
The record followed Facelift, Alice in Chains' 1990 debut album, and expanded the band's audience. Listeners sometimes confuse Dirt with Nirvana's In Utero or Pearl Jam's Vs. because all three were major Seattle releases from the early 1990s, but Dirt belongs specifically to Alice in Chains.
