The new, and final, Soundgarden album is almost complete, according to the band themselves.
The three surviving members – and originally bassist Hiro Yamamoto - gave an interview to Allison Hagendorf’s podcast at the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame before their recent induction. They reflected on the band’s early days, the group’s legacy and the final album, which they had been working on in the run up to Chris Cornell’s suicide in 2017. That record was the source of a long legal dispute between Cornell’s widow, Vicky and the group. But since that was resolved in 2023, they have recommenced work on it.
