UP FROM DOWN
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
is the fifth
studio album by
American rock band
released on
May 28, 2013,
through Capitol Records,
the band's final album
released through the label.
Following a worldwide tour
in support of its
previous album,
Black Gives Way to Blue
(2009),
Alice in Chains
began work on a new album.
The making of
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
lasted for more than a year
and the release of the album
was delayed numerous times.
The band entered the studio in
July 2011
to start work on
their fifth album.
During the writing
and recording sessions,
guitarist and vocalist
Jerry Cantrell
underwent shoulder surgery,
which resulted in
the delay of the album.
The recording sessions of
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
were completed in
December 2012.
Peaking at No. 2
on the
Billboard 200 chart
and at No. 1
on the
Top Rock Albums chart,
the album was well received
by music critics,
and
"Hollow",
"Stone",
"Voices"
were released as singles
to promote the album.
"Hollow"
and
"Stone"
reached No. 1
on Billboard's
Mainstream Rock Tracks,
while
"Voices"
reached No. 3,
and each one
of the three songs
stayed on the chart
for 20 weeks.
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
also reached the
top ten in the
national albums charts
of Australia,
Finland
and
Norway.
The album was nominated for
a Grammy Award
for Best Engineered Album,
Non-Classical
in 2013,
and ranked No. 4
on Loudwire's
2019 list of the
Best Rock Albums
of the Decade.
