The official trailer for ALICE IN CHAINS‘s special movie project titled “Black Antenna”, produced and directed by filmmaker Adam Mason, can be seen below. Inspired by the sound of the band’s first album in five years, 2018’s “Rainier Fog”, Mason has created a stunning 90-minute sci-fi film which will be rolled out in ten episodic segments/videos beginning March 7, with each episode set to a different song from the album.
“I’m a longtime fan of the band,” says Mason. “And this was an opportunity to do something fresh and inspiring from an indie filmmaking side. The sound and vision between album and film are closely intertwined — it was a brilliant synergy that led to a really unique project.”
“We’ve always toyed with the idea of creating videos for every song on one of our albums,” says drummer Sean Kinney. “Not only did we do that for ‘Rainier Fog’, it got totally out of hand and we made a whole goddamn movie. Everything that will be seen in the videos will be footage from ‘Black Antenna’ to preface the complete film’s release.”
The band’s first new studio effort in five years, “Rainier Fog” marks a few firsts for ALICE IN CHAINS: it’s their first album for BMG and their first time recording in their hometown of Seattle in more than 20 years (worth noting that the album title is a tribute to Seattle). The “Rainier Fog” recording process also saw the band spend time at Henson Recording Studiosin Los Angeles and at the Nashville studio of producer Nick Raskulinecz. “Rainier Fog” is the third straight ALICE IN CHAINS album recorded with Raskulinecz and engineer Paul Figueroa. The album was mixed by Joe Barresi (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, TOOL).
