If your choices are “funny” or “die,” the former word isn’t likely to be the one you’d associate with heeeaaavy grunge survivors Alice in Chains. But this pseudo/meta promo video for the band’s May 28 release, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, might change your mind. Is that guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell with the horse named “Man”? Don’t know. Is William DuVall, the lead vocalist post-Layne Staley, that Rasta guy on the beach? No idea. (Is that Mike McCready in on the joke(s)? Duff McKagan? Kim Thayil? Yep.) Is this funny? It most definitely is.

Whether you think AIC should have hung it up when Staley died, or that their stuff since they regrouped (e.g., the Black Gives Way to Blue record) is actually pretty fantastic — and I’m still pleasantly surprised to be in the latter category — it sounds like the new album is going to rock as only Alice in Chains rocks.
