Today the all new but still bad ass Alice In Chains debuted their new video for “A Looking In View.” New lead singer William DuVall definitely holds his own without trying to imitate the late Layne Staley. “A Looking In View” features heavy straight forward riffs that will not be out of place on mainstream [...]
