Soundgarden

On May 24, 2013, during their electrifying performance at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, Soundgarden was riding the wave of resurgence following their 2012 album, *King Animal*. This was their first studio release in over a decade and marked a triumphant return to the rock scene. Interestingly, *King Animal* showcases Soundgarden's quintessential sound, blending heavy riffs with Chris Cornell's haunting vocals, much like their classic material from the '90s. The concert featured a spirited rendition of "Non-State Actor," a track that encapsulates their signature blend of darkness and groove, all while drawing on themes of societal disillusionment. At this point in their career, Soundgarden had skillfully reestablished their foothold in the music world, setting the stage for both nostalgic trips down memory lane and fresh explorations. It was a special moment; fans were not just witnessing a band, but a piece of living rock history.
