Soundgarden

On December 13, 2024, Soundgarden reunited for a special performance at the SMOOCH Benefit in Seattle, showcasing their iconic hit "Outshined." This live recording marks a poignant moment in the band's career, particularly as it followed their acclaimed 2012 album, *King Animal*. That album was their first studio release in over 15 years, demonstrating a remarkable resurgence that reminded fans of their signature sound—a unique blend of metal, rock, and alternative vibes. Performing in Seattle, where it all began, must've felt incredibly special, almost like a homecoming. What’s fascinating is how the band’s music hasn’t lost its potency over the years—"Outshined," originally from their game-changing 1991 album *Badmotorfinger*, still resonates with deep emotional weight. Plus, this reunion performance highlights the enduring legacy of Chris Cornell’s powerful voice and the band's pioneering contributions to rock music. All in all, this recording encapsulates not just a moment of celebration but also a nostalgic nod to their rich history and unwavering influence in the music scene.
