New Soundgarden album will include updated old material

Tue, 08 Mar 2011

Soundgarden reunited in January after a twelve year break to work on their first album since 1996's 'Down On The Upside' and have now already 12-14 songs that they feel are 'kind of ready to go'.

Drummer Matt Cameron recently spoke to Billboard.com and told them, them that the album could be made up of both new and updated old ideas, but 90% will be new.

"We've tried to update the super-old stuff. It doesn't sound too old and dusty and crusty to my ears - but maybe to someone else it will," he said before adding, "There's a little bit of evolution going on with some of this new music, but we're not straying too far from the formula. It has all our signature elements - and more. I think people are going to really love it." 

The band are due to release a live album 'Live On I5' later this month.
