'Rainier Fog' is the third straight Alice In Chains album recorded with producer Nick Raskulinecz and engineer Paul Figueroa (Ghost, Deftones, Rush). But the album also marks a few firsts for the band: in addition to being their first album in five years, it’s their first album with BMG and their first time recording in their hometown of Seattle in more than 20 years (worth noting that the album title is a tribute to Seattle). They recorded at Studio X, the same facility where they tracked 1995’s self-titled 'Alice In Chains' album (back when the studio was known as Bad Animals). The recording process also saw the band spend time at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles and at the Nashville studio of producer Nick Raskulinecz. The album was mixed by Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool).
