The band took its name from Staley’s previous group, the glam metal band Alice N’ Chains.

Rainier Fog is the sixth studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on August 24, 2018 through BMG, the band’s first release on the label. The title was inspired by Mount Rainier in Seattle, and the title track is a tribute to the Seattle music scene. This is the band’s third album with William DuVall as lead vocalist sharing vocals duties with Jerry Cantrell, and the first Alice in Chains album in 22 years to be recorded in their hometown of Seattle. The album was partially recorded at Seattle’s Studio X (formerly Bad Animals Studios), the same studio where the band recorded their 1995 self-titled albumRainier Fog is also Alice in Chains’ third collaboration with Nick Raskulinecz, making it the first time they had recorded more than two full-length studio albums with the same producer.
