Soundgarden

On May 5, 2017, Soundgarden delivered a memorable performance at the Carolina Rebellion festival, just 13 days shy of the tragic passing of their iconic frontman, Chris Cornell. This live recording captures the band’s powerful presence, highlighting songs from their discography, notably including tracks from their critically acclaimed album, *King Animal*, released in 2012. This album marked their first studio release in over 15 years and showcased a remarkable evolution in their sound, blending the raw energy of grunge with a more mature musicality. Interestingly, *King Animal* was also significant as it reaffirmed Soundgarden’s longstanding influence on the rock scene, bridging their past successes with a contemporary edge. What really makes this concert even more poignant is the bittersweet realization that this performance was one of the last times fans would see Cornell live. It’s a reminder of the band's enduring legacy and the deep connection they shared with audiences.
