The group's last album was released in 1996, although they officially reunited in 2010. -- Billboard, March 2012 From the Artist Soundgarden states "We've been hard at work on our new album, which will come out this Fall. [2012] When the opportunity arose to write an original song for `Marvel's The Avengers' film, we thought it could be a cool match. We are excited to release our new song 'Live To Rise,'." About the Artist With 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 two years since Soundgarden has reunited, they have headlined festivals, toured the world and released their first retrospective titled Telephantasm which included the previously unreleased song, "Black Rain" and their first live album, Live on I-5. The press has exalted their return to the stage and the music scene. Rolling Stone called their headline performance at Lollapalooza "an epic set...a blueprint of the Seattle sound," where the Chicago Tribune hailed them as "one of the last great hard-rock bands to emerge in the last 25 years." The band are currently in the studio in Seattle writing and recording their first LP in over 15 years, which is set for release in 2012.
