Alice In Chains celebrates 30 years of ‘Dirt,’ released in September 1992. The band has been posting behind-the-scenes footage, sharing stories, and now posting alternate photos from the album to commemorate the anniversary of the iconic album.
They posted three photos (see below) to their official Instagram, along with the caption:
On creating the album art for #Dirt:
”I wanted this cover to have a rather ‘Hellish’ atmosphere. It was (the band’s) idea to have a nude woman, half-buried in the desert. She could be either dead or alive. All of my experiences with Alice in Chains have been great, life-changing experiences. I’m very thankful for the truly brilliant times that I’ve had with these amazing guys.” – Rocky Schenck
Instead of shooting the album cover in an actual desert, Rocky built one in his Hollywood studio so he could control the aesthetics and lighting. He painted the sky backdrop, constructed miniature mountains, and made the desert floor from foam core and clay. Rocky also left a body-shaped hole in the “ground” just big enough for model, Mariah O’Brien, to climb into. #Dirt30
