In an exclusive interview with Blabbermouth, Alice in Chains, revealed that they were working on their seventh studio album. Speaking about the unnamed upcoming album, vocalist William Duvall elaborated:
"We had a lot of time imposed on us and I think we're going through this period of catching up on things that we had planned for 2020 [and] 2021, and we're all finally getting to do that now. So, it's kind of like a stopgap and we're just dealing with all of these stockpiled projects that we had planned a few years back."
