Part of the key to their success was the combination of that sense of indifference that grunge is supposed to have with the strength of metal and an exclusive and characteristic harmonic play in the voices. With a name that in itself denotes quite a lot of pessimism and with a heavier and more heavy metal-oriented sound than contemporary grunge bands, although within this movement, Alice in Chains managed to emerge from the Seattle scene to become one of the most important bands of so-called alternative rock, selling some 14 million records in the United States.
