Jerry Cantrell has a new project on the way and it features Guns N' Roses bassist/close friend Duff McKagan.

After some images leaked to Instagram earlier this week showing Cantrell and McKagan at a Los Angeles-based studio recording a music video, Cantrell took to his Instagram and shared some photos along with the caption, "Here’s a couple better pics than the ones leaked yesterday. May be time to upgrade that phone? Just saying." The photos also showed Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Greg Puciato and drummer Gil Sharone.

@chellebelle2020, the Instagram that leaked the initial photos noted, "Cantrell’s brother has said on social media that the album is due in October, though no label has been announced and no formal release date has been set. There’s also no word on any plans for a new @aliceinchains album. The band’s last release was 2018’s 'Rainier Fog.' Cantrell’s first two solo albums, 'Boggy Depot' (1998) and 'Degradation Trip' (2002), were released while Alice In Chains was inactive or disbanded."
