On Oct. 29, Alice in Chains co-founder Jerry Cantrell will release a new solo album called Brighten. To hold fans over, the lead single "Atone" recently premiered, along with a video (shared below).

Cantrell speaks of making Brighten:

I’ve been in the band for almost 34 years now. It’s always my first and foremost commitment, but it’s nice to explore different things and add another chapter to a growing body of work. After the last AIC tour wrapped, I geared my mind towards the possibility of making another record of my own.

The record also boasts an impressive surrounding cast that includes  drummers Gil Sharone and Abe Laboriel, Jr. (Paul McCartney), pedal steel master Michael Rozon, Vincent Jones on piano, Wurlitzer, and organ, as well as appearances by Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses, Loaded), Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan), and Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age) in various capacities. 

Cantrell previously released Boggy Depot (1998) and Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2 (2002).

Brighten Track List:

Atone
Brighten
Prism of Doubt
Black Hearts and Evil Done
Siren Song
