“Nutshell” is an instrumental reinterpretation of the Alice In Chains classic, released on August 22 — the 59th birthday of Layne Staley, one of the most haunting voices in rock history.

A tribute to an artist whose voice became inseparable from sorrow, and to a song that remains one of the purest expressions of it.

For SADFACE, “Nutshell” reaches far beyond a cover. It is a return to the very essence of what this project has always sought in sound — the beauty, weight and mystery of sadness.

IN MEMORY OF LAYNE STALEY

August 22, 1967 – April 5, 2002

Unsolved: KD-1 has surfaced from the unresolved.

Created for a documentary film that premiered on TVN24+, it carries the weight of a story that never found its end.

Fragments of evidence, fading traces, unanswered questions.

What was left behind continues to echo.

A descent into the unknown, where truth dissolves and silence keeps its secrets.

THE CASE REMAINS OPEN.
