Soundgarden Releasing New Album Through Guitar Hero
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Alternative, Rock, New Releases,
Soundgarden is releasing their first album in 13 years … through popular video game Guitar Hero. The bold move hasn’t been tried by any other band, but Chris Cornell thinks it’s the perfect way to re-introduce their music.
“It’s going to reach a certain amount of younger people that either may or may not know about Soundgarden,” he explained in a recent interview. “I feel like releasing it this way is going to reach a lot of people who have not heard our music or have not heard a lot of it.”
The album, Telephantasm, is filled with popular tracks from the band’s 90s-era heyday as well as some new tracks. It’s available on Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. Based on the number of games sold, the album has already been granted platinum status.
“I thought about doing this ever since I’ve heard about the game and what it is,” Cornell said. “I think the musical arrangements lend itself so well to what the video game is.”
