The release honors the last full-length studio effort the band completed with vocalist\/guitarist <strong>Layne Staley<\/strong>, who passed away in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>This edition doesn\u2019t add bonus tracks, but it does come in multiple vinyl options, with pre-orders already live through <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.revolvermag.com\/products\/alice-in-chains-alice-in-chains-30th-anniversary-2lp-exclusive-translucent-highlighter-yellow-w-black-white-splatter-vinyl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Revolver<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.brooklynvegan.com\/collections\/alice-in-chains-vinyl-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BrooklynVegan<\/a>. One standout version is a translucent highlighter yellow pressing with black and white splatter, capped at 4,000 copies.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a deluxe package that will include the original record across two vinyl LPs, plus three seven-inch singles, posters, 10 custom art prints, a hardcover cover book, 12 tarot cards, a cassette, two double-sided 24\u00d724&#8243; posters, a double-sided zoetrope slip mat, and a 3D ballerina plus a zoetrope coin record topper, available from the band&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.aliceinchains.com\/products\/alice-in-chains-30th-anniversary-box-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">webstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Originally unleashed on Halloween, October 31, 1995, Alice In Chains marked the band\u2019s third studio album. It wouldn\u2019t be until 2009 that <strong>Alice In Chains<\/strong> returned with a new full-length, Black Gives Way To Blue, introducing <strong>William DuVall<\/strong> as <strong>Staley<\/strong>\u2019s successor.<a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/wp-admin\/edit.php?post_type=post\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>The album stands as one of <strong>Alice In Chains<\/strong>&#8216; bleakest and most compelling statements, locking into a dense, suffocating atmosphere that pushes their grunge roots into something even more unsettling and personal. Nicknamed the \u201cTripod\u201d record thanks to its iconic three-legged dog artwork, it digs deep into addiction, alienation, and psychological turmoil without flinching. Alice In Chains was also the band&#8217;s first full-length album to feature bassist <strong>Mike Inez<\/strong> on bass.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/AIC-Box-Set-750x751.jpg\" alt=\"A 30th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue Of ALICE IN CHAINS' 1995 Self-Titled Album Is Coming\" class=\"wp-image-600259\"  \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<strong style=\"display: block;margin: 0 auto;max-width: 660px;font-size: 1.625rem;\">Want More Metal?
