Jerry Cantrell’s new song, ‘Afterglow’ arrives with a video created by award-winning artist Matt Mahurin, whose work is noted for blending realism with abstract and surreal elements, which shines through in the five-minute piece. Watch the video HERE
“Two of my all-time favorite videos I’ve directed are ‘No Excuses’ and ‘Angry Chair” for Alice In Chains in the early 1990’s. To be able to once again offer my visual work to Jerry’s ‘Afterglow’ some thirty years later was a blast. From opera aria to pop tune, everybody sees a movie playing in their mind’s eye when they listen to a song. Jerry inspired a welcome fever dream that I was grateful to lure out of my mind’s eye,” Mahurin shares.
Mahurin’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Time, Rolling Stone, and his photographs are on permanent display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
‘Afterglow’ is the second song from Cantrell’s upcoming album, I Want Blood, with ‘Vilified’ debuting at the end of July. The track, which features guest performances from Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) and Gil Sharone (Team Sleep, Stolen Babies), was praised by Revolver as “anxiety-stirring” and “eerie,” while Metal Hammer simply called it “brilliant.”
I Want Blood, co-produced by Cantrell and Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins), was recorded at Barresi’s JHOC Studio in Pasadena, Calif. The album features contributions from the aforementioned McKagan, and Sharone, as well as Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Greg Puciato (Better Lovers, ex-Dillinger Escape Plan), and Lola Colette.
