Soundgarden

During the live recording at the Download Festival in 2012, Soundgarden was in the process of revitalizing their career after reuniting in 2010. The band had released their critically acclaimed album "King Animal" in November 2012, which marked their first studio album in over 16 years since "Down on the Upside" in 1996. This performance was a significant moment as it not only showcased the band’s return to the live stage but also introduced new material from "King Animal," including "The Day I Tried to Live," a song that reflects their signature sound blending heavy rock with intricate melodies and lyrics. Interestingly, this reunion period saw Soundgarden performing at several major festivals, which helped reaffirm their status as one of the pioneering bands of the grunge movement and captivated both old fans and new audiences alike.
