Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil. Matt Cameron joined the group in 1986, followed by Ben Shepherd in 1990. Soundgarden became one of the first Seattle groups to sign a deal with a major local record label. The bands listed albums include Ultramega OK, Louder Than Love, Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Down On The Upside and King Animal. The song Black Hole Sun is described as a rock hit.

The 1996 album Down On The Upside led to Soundgarden breaking up. The split was not permanent, and the group reunited in 2012 with the album King Animal. The current work involving the band centers on unreleased songs featuring Chris Cornell.

Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron are currently completing the final work on an album made up of unreleased songs that features Cornell. Thayil said the album is important to the legacy of Soundgarden and Chris Cornell. He also said that completing the work means doing right by their shared body of work and their friends.
