Grind - Alice in Chains - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Grind" by Alice in Chains is a powerful sludge metal anthem that perfectly captures the grunge vibe of the era. "Grind" exemplifies the band's trademark concoction of funereal lyrics, dirgy melodies, and uncompromising guitar riffs. Written by primary songwriter Jerry Cantrell—who also provides lead vocals on the track, on which Layne Staley also joins in—"Grind" kicks into gear with a propulsive guitar riff that sets the stage for the hard-hitting lyrics that follow. "In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised / Not to plan my funeral before the body dies", roar the duo in the opening verse, gesturing towards the false whispers about the band's demise and the death of Layne Stanley that had been doing the rounds at the time. "Grind"—which was issued as the third single from the band's third self-titled studio album in 1995—was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1996.
