Chris Cornell Says New Soundgarden Album is in the Works
In a new interview with Rolling Stone to discuss his forthcoming solo album, Higher Truth (due out September 18), Chris Cornell confirmed that a new Soundgarden album is in the works.
“We’re already working on new material for an album,” said Cornell. “And then I’ve got several other irons in the fire and things going that I won’t mention now. There’s a lot of things coming in addition to Higher Truth, as well as a new Soundgarden album.”
Apart from a wide-ranging boxset and some Record Store Day exclusives Soundgarden has put out in recent years, the band’s last new studio album was 2012’s King Animal.
Before Soundgarden’s return, Cornell will begin a lengthy solo album in September.
