Soundgarden's Final Album: A Bittersweet Journey

Soundgarden is currently in the process of creating their final album, which is approximately 70% complete. The album features vocals recorded by Chris Cornell before his passing in 2017. The band has been working on the songs written in 2015 and 2016, using Cornell's vocals as a guide to build the tracks around. The process of completing the album has been described as bittersweet by drummer Cameron, who expressed excitement about the project's progress.

The band has not yet announced a release date for the album but is actively working on finishing the tracking and production. The members of Soundgarden started songwriting together in 2015 and 2016, exchanging demos before recording sessions in 2017. The vocals used in the album are from the original demos recorded by the band, with the instrumental tracks being developed around them.

Cameron shared that hearing Cornell's voice in the studio again has been an emotional experience for the band. Despite the challenges, they are focused on creating a sound that honors their late bandmate and satisfies their fans. The upcoming album is seen as a fitting way to conclude Soundgarden's creative journey.

Earlier this year, Cameron announced his departure from Pearl Jam after 27 years with the band.
