Soundgarden

On February 22, 2015, Soundgarden took the stage at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds during the Soundwave Festival, delivering a powerful live performance that highlighted their status as grunge pioneers. At this point in their career, the band was riding the wave of their resurgence after reuniting in 2010. They had just released their much-anticipated album, “King Animal,” in 2012, which was their first studio album in over 15 years. This marked a significant moment for the band as they returned to the scene that had once defined them, showcasing classic hits alongside newer material. Interestingly, the live recording of “Birth Ritual” is a testament to their enduring appeal and the intense energy that still defines their performances. The fact that they were able to captivate a crowd years after their initial breakthrough speaks volumes about their influence in the rock world. As they performed these beloved tracks, fans could feel the nostalgia and passion in the air, a reminder that some bands just never fade away.
