New Soundgarden Album Nearly Done
Chris Cornell has revealed that the band\'s new record will be finished over the Christmas period
"It's mostly done," Cornell revealed to Billboard.com. "We just need to finish a couple of songs and mix it, so that will be happening probably over the holidays."
As to what it sounds like, he says that, "It's certainly not nostalgic. It's definitely forward. It sounds to me exactly like it should sound -- like we took a break and we got together and we're making an album. I don't think we've taken any dramatic new approaches to writing or recording, and yet there's definitely changes. We've all had a decade-plus of more experience in writing and recording and took a long break... So it's very refreshing and it feels to me like the next logical step in Soundgarden, creatively."
Cornell was speaking to Billboard about his forthcoming solo acoustic album, Songbook, which features reworked versions of solo, Soundgarden and Audioslave songs.
