Soundgarden - King Animal -

When a band is but a fraction of Pearl Jam, but they aren't zero Pearl Jam.

Agree that Chris sounds much improved these days. Very glad these guys are making music again.


Awesome...sounds really good.

Is it too much to ask for more music quick?

this record is kicking my ass on a daily bases.. Matt and Ben shine through all the songs, but i can appreciate some of the groove better now, specially in songs like Been Away Too Long.

when is the By Crooked Steps coming?

Guitarist Kim Thayil says that Soundgarden’s first album in over 15 years, King Animal, includes songs that drummer Matt Cameron had originally written for Pearl Jam.

“[Matt] had some songs which he had demoed that he wanted us to learn,” Thayil tells The Phoenix. “He thought these songs were Soundgarden-like and that they might have been more appropriate for us than Pearl Jam and he wanted to hear us play them.”

Thayil adds that rehearsing Cameron’s tracks in the studio sparked the band’s desire to create King Animal. “We had a blast [in the studio] and we love the songs and other ideas were coming out,” he explains. “[Frontman] Chris [Cornell] had some, I had some, [bassist] Ben [Shepherd] had some and we just started jamming.”

Soundgarden is currently on a North American tour supporting King Animal. Visit SoundgardenWorld.com to view the full itinerary.

Great show in DC Friday night. Awesome energy, especially for Constitution Hall, and great set list. These guys sounded amazing! I think I made Chris Cornell mad though by not standing (18 sec mark).

That's a pretty inaccurate headline.

Were any of the 2013 shows taped? I'm hoping some audience recordings surface in the near future.

I've been speeding up BATL very slightly on my MP3 player. The change is very slight, but it sounds way cooler, like the live version.
