It's been an awfully long time between new albums for Soundgarden, but the band's comeback disc 'King Animal' is almost here -- and thanks to iTunes, we can actually hear it a week ahead of its release.
When Soundgarden got back together, they started by touring and playing the old hits and getting back in the habit of performing their music again. But now, a couple of years later, the group is preparing to move forward in their career with their first full original studio album since 1996, and frontman Chris Cornell says that they're looking forward and evolving with their next record.
If you're a Soundgarden fan and anywhere near the vicinity of New York, Toronto or Los Angeles, start making arrangements to get yourself to one of the band's three newly announced intimate club dates this month. In addition, if you pre-order the 'King Animal' album before Nov. 7 you will be granted password access to the Ticketmaster pre-sale on Nov. 8.
Soundgarden are gearing up for the release of their comeback album ‘King Animal’ on Nov. 13. The band recently shared the first single ‘Been Away Too Long,’ and is now following it up with the debut of another new tune, ‘Non-State Actor.’
Fans have been anxiously awaiting a new album from Soundgarden for more than 15 years, and the Nov. 13 arrival of 'King Animal' is just a couple weeks away. A deluxe edition of the release will also be available at Best Buy that includes extra tracks.
Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell and his wife Vicky have been sued by their former maid, who claims she was overworked and underpaid.
Yesterday (Sept. 27), we gave you a stream of the new Soundgarden single, 'Been Away Too Long' -- and celebrated the band's return to rocking after their extended absence. But what does Chris Cornell think of the song?
What a fitting title for Soundgarden's brand new single, since for all intents and purposes, they had 'Been Away Too Long.' Diehard fans of the Seattle band have missed them for the past several years, and while the reunion, live performances and 'Avengers' song 'Live to Rise' have been rad and appreciated, this is the beefy, puts-hair-on-your-chest Soundgarden rocker we've been waiting for.
All the details for the upcoming Soundgarden disc are coming into place, piece by piece. With a confirmed title of ‘King Animal’ and the first single ‘Been Away Too Long’ set to impact radio shortly, the band now has officially confirmed the release date while sharing the cover art and finalizing the disc’s track listing.
While many fans have been patiently awaiting the promise of new Soundgarden tunes as the band keeps an air of suspense surrounding their upcoming reunion album, the wait may finally be over. Rumor has it the reunited band’s first official single from the new disc will impact radio next week, with the tune aptly titled ‘Been Away Too Long' -- isn't that the truth!
It’s been a while since Billy Corgan last made headlines for getting into a slap fight with another band. We figured maybe he had decided to lay low as he prepares for the Smashing Pumpkins‘ upcoming tour, but most likely, it’s because he’s run out of bands to complain about. That was the implication last Friday (Aug. 31), when Corgan went on the radio to clarify his recent remarks about Soundgarden.
