Soundgarden to release final album with late frontman Chris Cornell: ‘It’s a gift to Chris’
Soundgarden will rise — and rock — again.

Soundgarden will rise — and rock — again.
And, yes, with Chris Cornell.
Indeed, the black hole that was left when the grunge god died by suicide in 2017 will be filled with some sun again: The band plans to release the final album made with its frontman.
"It would be a great gift to the fans," Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil told Rolling Stone. "And I do think about this, and I don't know how strange this sounds, but I feel like it's a gift to Chris too."
The group, which was just announced as Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, plans to finish the LP that they never completed before Cornell's death at 52.
"Our objective and goal was always to complete that [album]," Thayil said.
"I probably have OCD enough to not want to leave something unfinished or incomplete like that," he continued.
Thayil noted a desire to "attend to our body of work and our catalog."
"I think everyone in the band feels that way," he said. "I don't just to attend to my work, but the collective work, and in this case specifically, the work of Chris."
King Animal was pretty weak so I don't have high hopes for this. Cornell seemed to wreck his higher pitch vocals after that first Audioslave album but no one seemed to tell him. Still excited to hear what this sounds like.
(Best King Animal track?)
