Soundgarden was and still one of my favorite band. Alongside with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, they popularized grunge in the early 1990s. I remember the first time I bought their album, Superunknown in 1995. At that time, it was hard for me to enjoy their songs. Not like Nirvana or Pearl Jam that were more easy listening, this band was very deep and have harder sound than the other two bands from Seattle
Anyway, Superunknown that was released on March 8 1994 became the band breakthrough album. Superunknown debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. The music video for Black Hole Sun became a hit on MTV and received the award for Best Metal/Hard Rock Video at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards and in 1995 it received the Clio Award for Alternative Music Video. Their singles Black Hole Sun and Spoonman both won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance. The album itself was nominated Grammy for Best Rock Album in the same year.
Unfortunately, their fifth album, Down on the Upside, seemed to be their last album. After their worldwide tour, Soundgarden shocked fans around the world when they announced they would be breaking up on April 9, 1997. Internal conflict seemed to be the reason behind their breakup.
After 12 years of breakup, now came the good news about Soundgarden reunite. Lead singer os the band, Chris Cornell revealed the news via his Twitter on Friday, January 1, 2010.
"The 12 year break is over and school is back in session," he Tweeted. "
Knights of the Soundtable ride again!"
Hope we can hear more progress about this news shortly. Next time I am going to review about this band.
