Soundgarden’s new album IN LIMBO after legal battle with Vicky Cornell. Soundgarden have 7 unreleased songs recorded from 2015 to 2017.
The legal matters between Soundgarden and Chris Cornell’s widow Vickyy were settled during the spring of 2023, but there’s no word about plans to release that material ahead of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. “Certainly the catalog will continue to be addressed,” Kim Thayil told Billboard. “It’s been kinda shelved for a few years, but it will be addressed.”
Kim Thayil says Chris Cornell would “definitely be stoked” about Soundgarden being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He told Billboard, “He’s the one who convinced me how appreciative the fans and our peers and the Soundgarden community — that includes the people that we work with and work for us — would be about it,” Thayil says. “He realized how important that was, and he understood that would be important to us because it’s important to people who cared about us and helped us and supported us all along.
“That’s how I believe Chris would respond to this. I think he’d be very appreciative and thankful to all the people who have believed in him and believed in the work he did and the work that we all did, collectively.”
Thayil says Soundgarden bandmates Matt Cameron and bassist Ben Shepherd are both “very happy”
