Alice in Chains debuted the video for new single Lesson Learned on Yahoo! Music today. Conceived and directed by Paul Matthaeus, known for his groundbreaking main titles on the award-winning HBO series “Six Feet Under” and “True Blood,” and produced with Bobby Hougham and Sevrin Daniels of Blank Design, the video is comprised of over 6,000 still pictures stitched together to create a visually stunning stop-frame animated clip.

Using physical lacerations as a metaphor for lessons learned, the video sees a young man and woman plummet through a derelict industrial building. Tattered clothes dissolve off, revealing wounds that symbolize emotional learning. The video was shot entirely as a stop–frame animation, but with live actors on set. The clip can be seen below.

If you haven't picked up Black Gives Way to Blue, it is a fantastic listen that just ages well in your iPod. Pick it up because it sounds like vintage AiC. Yes, it doesn't have Layne's unique voice, but this is the Alice in Chains we have been waiting to hear since Layne's death.
