William DuVall, frontman for the iconic band ALICE IN CHAINS, will release his second solo album, "11.12.21 Live-In-Studio Nashville", on June 10 via DVL Recordings. The effort captures an explosive power trio performance recorded live direct-to-disc at the famed Welcome To 1979 Studio in Nashville on November 12, 2021. No "fixing" or remixing took place after the fact whatsoever. It's as supercharged, raw, and exciting as it gets. The CD is housed in a beautiful six-panel gatefold digipak. The first 500 copies are autographed by DuVall.

The official music video for "Rockslide" from "11.12.21 Live-In-Studio Nashville" can be seen here. The visual was assembled by Roger Okamato from photos taken at the live album recording session by Madison Thorn.
William's critically acclaimed debut solo effort, "One Alone", arrived in October 2019. The 11-track album showed DuVall's powerful voice with nothing but an acoustic guitar to back it.
In contrast to the multi-layered sonic assault, comprising most of his discography, "One Alone" was as sparse and intimate as it gets — part late-night confessional, part living room concert. As William described it at the time: "I felt the need to peel everything back. This album is strictly one voice, one guitar. It reveals the very core of who I am as a singer, guitarist, and songwriter."
DuVall appears on the last three ALICE IN CHAINS albums: 2009's "Black Gives Way To Blue", 2013's "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" and 2018's "Rainier Fog".
