"So Far Under" is a song by the American rock band Alice in Chains and the second single from the band's sixth studio album, Rainier Fog, released on August 24, 2018.[1] The single was released via YouTube, streaming and digital download on June 27, 2018.[1] The lyrics were written by Alice In Chains' co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist William DuVall, who also played the guitar solo in the song.[1][9]

Origin

"So Far Under" is the first Alice in Chains song written entirely by William DuVall, and the first in the band's catalog written entirely by someone other than Jerry Cantrell or Layne Staley. Duvall said about the song in a press release:

Release and reception

The song was released on Alice in Chains' official YouTube channel on June 27, 2018,[10] and it is also available for streaming and digital download via Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Google Play and Deezer.[1][2]

Revolver magazine said that the song "finds the band leavening their signature grunge with dreary, hypnotic grooves reminiscent of Electric Wizard".[7] For Loudwire, "the track, heard seems to be a perfect fit for the Alice catalog, with a familiar guitar and drum sound. "So far under / Too much pain to tell / Now I'm ripped asunder / So far under," come the hypnotically-delivered lyrics of the chorus over evil sounding guitars."[11]

The song peaked at No. 3 on Amazon's Best Sellers in Rock,[12] and at No. 23 on Amazon's Top 100 Paid Songs.[13]

Live performances

Alice in Chains performed the song live for the first time during their concert at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, Canada on August 22, 2018.[14]
