4. Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains, formed in 1987, is also from Seattle. The band released three albums as well as an EP entitled “Jar of Flies”. To date, this EP was the one which sold over ten million copies around the world. Alice in Chains’ signature was their intense guitar and distortion music and such was truly manifested in their album “Dirt”.
However, the popularity of grunge music and its bad side effects took toll on the band. Alice in Chains was truly successful with its career but vocalist Layne Staley’s problem with drug addiction greatly affected the future of the band. His death due to substance overdose led to the unofficial disbanding of the grunge group.
