I Want Blood is the fourth studio album by Alice in Chains guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell. It was released on October 18, 2024.^[1]

Reception

I Want Blood received positive reviews from critics. The album received a score of 76% on Metacritic based on 5 reviews. Anne Erickson of Blabbermouth.net writes: "Really, it's wrong to say there's any album "highlight" here, because all of the tracks are strong enough to be singles, and they all show off the best of what Cantrell delivers. "I Want Blood" fits the ALICE IN CHAINS brand in the best way, but it also shows that when Cantrell focuses on delivering something special, he does." Steve Beebee of Kerrang! writes: Not having anything left to prove doesn’t mean you have to fall silent. Jerry Cantrell doesn’t have to do solo records – the thing is, he can’t not do them. Music, and the struggle between light and dark within that music, fires up his grunge-powered strings and eerily emotive voice year after year. A pause in Alice In Chains duties has allowed him to follow up 2021’s solo album Brighten with another, equally absorbing but far darker nine-tracker." Jimmy Glinster of HEAVY Magazine has a slightly more mixed response: "Well, it’s not the strongest collection of songs by Jerry, but it’s still pretty damn good, and I’ll be giving it a few more listens. You should give it a crack too!" ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7]
