Soundgarden was with Nirvana and Pearl Jam one of the groups from Seattle which broke in 1991 with the heavy rock sound that soon was called "grunge." Of all the grunge group Soundgarden leaning most on the classic hard rock sound of Black Sabbath (the heavy guitar riffs) and Led Zeppelin (the voice of frontman Chris Cornell). From the album Superunknown (1994), the group sold an estimated nine
… million copies. The accessible single Black Hole Sun was, thanks to the surreal video, even a top-40 hit. In 1996, the group fell apart. Drummer Matt Cameron left for Pearl Jam and Cornell founded with members of Rage Against The Machine Audioslave at the group. In 2010 the main occupation of the group came back together for a reunion and comeback album King Animal.more
