Soundgarden Working on Unreleased-Songs Album
Soundgarden members Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron are completing work on an album of unreleased songs that Thayil said is important to the legacy of Soundgarden and Chris Cornell.
Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil. Matt Cameron joined the band in 1986, followed by Ben Shepherd in 1990, completing the classic lineup. As the band’s success increased, its songs became stranger. Black Hole Sun is described as one of Soundgarden’s defining hits. The band’s albums include Ultramega OK, Louder Than Love, Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down On The Upside and King Animal.
Down On The Upside was released in 1996 and led to the band’s breakup. Soundgarden later reunited, and the return produced the album King Animal.
Thayil, Shepherd and Cameron are currently completing the final work on an album made up of unreleased songs. Thayil said the project is important to the legacy of Soundgarden and also important to Chris Cornell’s legacy. The work is being carried out by three members of the classic lineup: Thayil, who co-founded the band with Cornell in 1984; Cameron, who joined in 1986; and Shepherd, who joined in 1990.
