Soundgarden announce: ‘There’s Nothing Stopping Us From Continuing To Make Records’
It took Soundgarden 16 years to write a new album, but now, apparently, they’ve got the ‘album fever’. After they finish their European tour which starts in September 4 in Helsinki, Finland and ends on September 19 in London, the band announced taking a break from touring. However, this doesn’t mean they’re taking a break from music, as frontman Chris Cornell says: “You know, I think that the overall attitude about keeping it going and…

Source Picture from the Halfway There video The song Halfway There is one of the songs from the band’s latest album, King Animal. I have to remind you that this album is the first one released in 16 years actually (and it’s quite good as well).

Soundgarden play on Letterman show
Soundgarden have just released their new album, King Animal, on 12 November, and it kicks so much arse it shouldn’t even be legal! To help launch the project, the band appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman Monday night. Surprise surprise, they rocked it there too. Soundgarden performed the single from their first album in 16 years, “Been Away Too Long” on the nightly show. I can only agree man – they’ve been away…
Soundgarden stream new album: King Animal
Source. Soundgarden – King Animal Soundgarden’s new album, King Animal, which will be officially released on 12th November this year, is now available on ZME Music where you can listen to it freely as long as you want.

New Soundgarden song: Non-State Actor
Source It seems that 2012 is a great year for those bands with a history in the music industry to reunite or to release a new album after a break that lasted years (Dead Can Dance for example).

New Music Round-up: Soundgarden, Torche and Kanye West
Holy hell, has it been quite a six-day run for new music. New tracks from Soundgarden, Torche and Yeezy all came out since the middle of last week. First up, the reunited grunge gods Soundgarden put out a single from the forthcoming Avengers Assemble album (the soundtrack to the Avengers film) called “Live to Rise.” I was initially excited cause, ya know, it’s fucking Soundgarden. It is, sadly, simply meh: a do-nothing riff over the…
Soundgarden live @ Conan (‘Black Rain’ and ‘Hunted Down’)
After a series of intense reunion tour dates and a recently released platinum awarded compilation album, albeit released bundled with Guitar Hero cards, Soundgarden rocked the house last night for Coco with two great tracks off Telephantasm. The band first started with “Black Rain”, a previously unreleased studio leftover from the Badmotorfinger sessions, after which a seemingly rehabilitated Chris Cornell and co. jumped to “Hunder Down”, the band’s first single released in 1987. Check out…
Soundgarden Prepare Telephantasm
Things are still a-stir in the world of Soundgarden. Now that all involved have entered a healthful middle age, they’ve cast their one good eye towards the past, and played a number of reunion shows, including what looks like an excellent set at grimly indie-fied festibule Lollapalooza. (Moderately tuneful but utterly bland British glumsters Mumford & Sons played there this year, to give you an example of how far from its freak-show-encompassing, bile-drinking-contest roots the…
Here There Be Nudedragons
Or, as they’re perhaps more commonly known, Soundgarden. Y’know: Soundgarden. The most interesting band of the big Seattle four, who recently played a reunion show at the famous Showbox Theatre. That Soundgarden. And now there is a pro-shot video of their performance of Beyond The Wheel from that gig, which – quite honestly – defies all logical expectations, and both illogical ones. It’s gooooooooooood. That’s after the jump.
