CHRIS CORNELL SAYS SOUNDGARDEN STILL HAVEN’T NAMED THEIR NEW ALBUM

By: 25 May 2012 63 Comments

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell was interviewed on WMMR and mentioned that Soundgarden still haven’t decided on a name for their new album. He said they’re close to being at a point where they have to decide. What do you, the readers of GrungeReport.net, think the album should be called? If Live to Rise actually makes the album, how about calling it ‘Warm My Face.’  Sex sells!

He also said that Live to Rise isn’t indicative of a new sound for the band, just like their past singles didn’t indicate the sound of their albums. Mentioned that there are moment of new sounds on the new album.

    I care about the music, not the title, now give us new songs in this tour!!

  • Ben said:

    I hope they come up with a cool name like all there previous albums and it is not just self titled.
    Although I guess a self titled could be appropriate as a reunion album which represents the Soundgarden sound evolving. Good to hear there are some new ‘sounds’ in the mix – look forward to hearing the progression.

    Ultramega Sonic Agressive… bring it on!

    if the need to decide on a name means another delay, here’s my vote for self-titled

  • Max said:

    Aww, I thought Chris said Kim made up a title like 6 months ago! And no, I can’t even begin to think of a title without hearing the music.

    Kim Thayil’s a master at coming up with absurd, awesome song and album titles. I’m sure he can just throw one out there and it would work (as long as it fits the music).

    Didnt some article a few.months ago say it was called
    Sonic aggressive??

  • Allura Music said:

    Don’t give away all of the album’s secrets Cornell! Leave something for us to anticipate and let us have at least one suprise.

    But most of all, just concentrate on giving us some amazing music. Most of us could care less about what the title of the album is.

    Let’s stop all the procrastinating (Cornell) and just put a great record our already.

    Part of a song lyric from an album is always a safe bet. They could look for the coolest lyric they’ve got and use that. Less boring than self titled.

  • YUMM said:

    It should be called “Meh…”

  • NickG said:

    I’d be down with a self-titled, they haven’t had one and I think it’s about time. Sorta like Pearl Jam’s “Avocado” record.

  • Breadbitten said:

    Should be self titled…it’s all the rage these days…again!

    “Half Our Fans Will Hate This”

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    YOU CAN HATE THE MAYANS ;) BUT YOU CANNOT HATE THE SOUNDGARDEN

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    Soundgarden will be using the name I have suggested before, because i am actually Chris Cornells real life cousin :) I bet you all didnt know that . I have some insider info on my cousins band that will shock you all to hell. I have actually heard most of the finished demos for the new album and its really really good :)

    Its a good mix of Bad Motorfinger, Superunknown, and Down On The Upside with a twist: its more heavy punk rocking , a little more grungey and at times, 1960s psychedic jimmy hendrix style guitar playing from Kim, that will blow your fucking minds!!!

    AND YES ONCE FOR ALL, SOUNDGARDENS NEW ALBUM WILL BE NAMED “SONIC HEAVEN”
    AND IT WILL BE RELEASED ON CD: SEPTEMBER 24, 2012. Adam Kasper and Soundgarden are producing the album this time, the only song that is kinda mainstream and modern rock sounding is the Avengers movie soundtrack single: Live To Rise. But if you really like songs like Superunknown, Spoonman, Rusty Cage, Ty Cobb, or My Wave, then your GONNA LOVE THIS NEW ALBUM , I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT.

    I know some of you have been doubting my comments and think that im making stuff up but im not, I have been friends with record producer and engineer Adam Kasper and im Chris Cornells second Cousin. Im proud of what Chris has done with his rock band :) I went to their very first shows in Seattle in 1990. Its good to see them back together and making true grunge music again. Enjoy :)

  • Ben said:

    I doubt you could even name Chris’s cousin… yet alone the album…

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    I BET YOU I KNOW WHAT IT IS ALREADY ;)
    ITS SONIC HEAVEN YOU DUMBASS !!! I TOLD YOU THAT ALREADY
    AND MY AUNT IS KAREN CORNELL, CHRIS CORNELLS MOTHER OK???

    CHRIS IS MY REAL COUSIN

  • Ben said:

    Ah so I’m a dumbass for not believing everything you say… I’m cool with that.

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    :) just be cool ok? lets talk about soundgarden , so what do you hope the new album will sound like? i hope it rocks as good as it sounds from what i have heard so far

  • Ben said:

    So your telling me you download the new album (rolls eyes) and you hope it rocks as good as it sounds so far…. so you haven’t listen to it all!!???

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    No I mean , I HOPE THE RADIO STATIONS play the songs all the time , so good it rocks the audience ok?? I hope new people will love the new soundgarden . I downloaded it and yes its good but i will keep it a surprise, i have listed the tracks and some details but i will let my cousin Chris Cornell and his band do their thing this fall and bring the rock music to you all

  • Ben said:

    You said you downloaded it from P2P… official early copy, early cd download….

    Your telling people to check out P2P for more info and now you keeping it surprise.

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    If people want to download it, thats their choice, but im saying for those who cant download it , or just dont have the p2p file sharing sites available to them, you will just have to wait til the finished album comes out ok?? People have been downloading demos from rock bands for years. Before Audioslaves first album came out in 2002, they were called Civilian and some people downloaded copies of sounds like We Got The Whip, Turn To Gold ok?? So i know what im talking about here. Soundgarden really do rock

  • Ben said:

    HAHA I don’t need you to tell me that Soundgarden rock to make up my own decision…
    I know they do… but you still haven’t told me Chris’ cousins name. I.e. your name if you couldn’t work that one out!

  • Ben said:
