Like the iconic 60s and 70s bands which inspired them, Soundgarden redefined rock music for a whole generation and had a revolutionary impact on the course of musical history, while also leading trends in street style and graphic design.
Soundgarden’s roots go all the way back to 1984 and they celebrated their triumphant return to the live stage with the September 28th, 2010 release of Telephantasm, a career-spanning retrospective celebrating the band’s legacy and introducing their greatest work to a new generation. The album includes the previously unheard “Black Rain,” which also features on the soundtrack of Activision videogame Guitar Hero®: Warriors of Rock. Remixed from the sessions for 1991’s Badmotorfinger with new added vocals from Chris Cornell, the album reached platinum status on the day of release- a historic achievement for the first album ever bundled inside a video game. 2011 saw the band release their first ever live album entitled Live on I-5 – a reference to the Interstate 5 which runs up and down the West Coast- the new collection compiled live tracks from a 1996 run by the band and captures the band at the height of their recording and touring career. The recordings and mixing was done by Adam Kasper.
In April of 2011, Soundgarden announced their first tour in over 13 years, and announced to their fans that they were in the studio in Seattle working on new material. Soundgarden will tour North America in July 2011, and head back into the studio to finish their first new LP in over 15 years.
