In June 2012, when Soundgarden performed "Fell On Black Days" live at the Download Festival, the band was revitalizing their career after reuniting in 2010. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their sixth studio album, "King Animal," which came out in November 2012. "King Animal" marked their first new album in over 16 years following their previous album, "Down on the Upside" (1996). Interestingly, the Download Festival performance showcased the band's enduring popularity and ability to connect with fans through their iconic sound, blending elements of grunge and heavy metal. The song "Fell On Black Days," originally featured on their 1994 album "Superunknown," has long been considered one of their standout tracks, illustrating the band's depth and emotional resonance. This performance contributed to the band's resurgence, demonstrating their relevance in the rock landscape of the early 2010s.
