“Left me here so all alone
Only for me to find…”

Rainier Fog echoes like a ghost through time—haunting, powerful, unforgettable. The raw emotion and dark beauty of the album resonate as if the voices of Layne Staley and Mike Starr never truly left. Their music is more than just sound; it’s a connection to something deeper, something timeless. In every note, there’s a presence that still lingers, reminding us of the pain, the genius, and the unspoken bond that tied the band together.

The loss of Layne and Mike is something that can never be fully understood by anyone who wasn’t there. It’s a weight the surviving members of Alice in Chains continue to carry, a legacy they shoulder with strength, even as they continue to make music that lives on in their memory.

Each strum of the guitar, every breath from the mic, still feels like a tribute—a way of keeping them close, even though they’re gone.

Seattle will forever be the heart of it all—the birthplace of grunge, and the place where these legendary souls will always be home. Their influence is felt in every corner of the city, in every chord struck, and in every listener who feels the raw power of their music.

You are deeply missed, but never forgotten. The echoes of your voices continue to play on, reverberating in the hearts of all who remember the grunge revolution. Your spirit lives on, not just in the music, but in the memories of those who were touched by your art.
