The album, titled “I Want Blood“, is set for release on the 18th of October 2024 through Double J Music. Here is how the artist describes it:

This record is a serious piece of work. It’s a motherfucker. It’s hard, no doubt, and completely unlike ‘Brighten’ [Cantrell’s previous album, released in 20212]. And that’s what you want, to end up in a different place. There’s a confidence to this album. I think it’s some of my best songwriting and playing, and certainly some of my best singing.

The record features numerous musical guests, including bassists Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, but we are especially interested in the drummers. Those are Gil Sharone and Mike Bordin.
