Re: Album cover and trailer for new Soundgarden album
This is looking (and sounding) really promising...
Love the album art and visual imagery and the music is definitively later era Soundgarden.. was concerned by 'Live to Rise' but seemingly that was tailored for a big budget commercial action film... here's hoping King Animal will continue their impeccable legacy...
Re: Album cover and trailer for new Soundgarden album
from the velvet rope...seems some things Axl says may actually be true when he is discussing record label issues...this dude knows his shit too.....
"Hey Rope Burn,
remember at last summer's BC gig, they made use of 2, maybe three of the new songs? I'll try to find more info on that, but this LP has been in the can for about 14 months now. They just had to wait for the Uni deal to materialize."
Re: Album cover and trailer for new Soundgarden album
Seattle’s Soundgarden will release 'King Animal' on November 13th 2012, the band’s first new studio album in over 15 years.
'King Animal' will be released on Vertigo Records, an imprint of the UK's Mercury Music Group, home to Metallica, Black Sabbath and The Killers. The album's first single, 'Been Away Too Long' will be available via digital retailers on September 27th. The band co-produced their sixth studio album with longtime Soundgarden friend and producer Adam Kasper (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Pearl Jam) and recorded at Studio X in Seattle. 'King Animal' was mixed by Joe Barresi (The Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer) in Pasadena, California.
With two Grammy award wins, seven overall nominations and over 21 million records sold worldwide, Soundgarden redefined rock music for a whole generation and had a revolutionary impact on the course of musical history. At the dawn of 2010, the band, Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd, announced a new beginning. In the last three years since Soundgarden has reunited, they released their first retrospective, 'Telephantasm', which was certified platinum, their first live album, 'Live on I-5', penned the end title song, 'Live to Rise' for the feature film The Avengers which went to Number 1 on Modern and Active Rock radio, and headlined sold-out shows and festivals around the world including Hard Rock Calling at Hyde Park, London in July. Now, comes the band's first collection of new songs since the 1990's.
The writing and recording of the album was a true collaborative effort. Riotous album opener and first single 'Been Away Too Long' finds Soundgarden back at it with a double-edged blast of homecoming celebration and urban angst. 'King Animal' can be explosive, as in 'Blood On The Valley Floor', nightmarish ('Worse Dreams') or wistful ('Halfway There'), leading us through changing sonic landscapes that can embrace both the jazz inflections of 'Black Saturday' and the feral rocker 'Attrition', with compelling lyrics by bassist Ben Shepherd. The subject matter is broad - Kim Thayil's lyrics for 'Non-State Actor' are a sharp and cynical take on the powers behind political thrones, while Cornell's bruised and introspective 'Bones of Birds' explores the terrors and vulnerabilities of parenthood.
Soundgarden remain a truly ‘alternative’ band as they embark on the next chapter of their journey, steadfast in their roots with 15 years of growth behind them. 'King Animal' follows the musical evolution of one of the world's most groundbreaking bands.
Tracklisting for 'King Animal' is as follows:
1. Been Away Too Long
2. Non-State Actor
3. By Crooked Steps
4. A Thousand Days Before
5. Blood On the Valley Floor
6. Bones of Birds
7. Taree
8. Attrition
9. Black Saturday
10. Halfway There
11. Worse Dreams
12. Eyelid’s Mouth
13. Rowing

Note: Best fucking news, ever (in my opinion). By the way, the single 'Been Away Too Long' will premiere this Wednesday (September 19th) on rock radio stations, worldwide (possibly tomorrow as some stations have already received the single to air).
Re: Album cover and trailer for new Soundgarden album
Yeah, music news of the decade that's for sure. The description of the album sounds insane and the two clips we've heard so far back it up. Glad that all members have contributed. Down on the Upside has some mind blowing songs but its mainly a Cornell/Shepherd album.
damn, now THAT is what I expected from new Gnr back in the early 2000's..
The difference in being batshit crazy vs together and focused.
Yep. Sad when you think about it.
They even recorded on tour. GNR couldn't finish up a 12 year old album during the past couple years of recording? They should have finished that relic and recorded a new one with time to spare.
