""Hearing [Cornell's] voice on these powerful hard rock songs is the most empowering thing in the world for me," Cameron continued. "Then I listen to his voice soloed up when I'm working on stuff, or if Kim or [bassist] Ben [Shepherd] is working on something, and it all comes back to the fact that he's not with us and he left us in a way that has so many questions. It's been gut-wrenching but at the same time very empowering.""
""There's not a set release date or anything as of yet," Cameron said. "There were a couple schools of thought, like, 'Hey, let's put out a single.' I think eventually we decided we want to make sure the whole thing is completed before we start releasing singles. I'm excited for people to hear it.""
""We're definitely over halfway done with it. Kim is in the process of finishing his guitar parts; he wants to make sure they get exactly the way he wants them.""
Soundgarden are working on an eight-song final album containing Chris Cornell's posthumous vocals, with recording begun prior to Cornell's death in May 2017. The band reports being over halfway finished, with guitarist Kim Thayil currently completing and perfecting his guitar parts and bassist Ben Shepherd contributing to the sessions. No official release date has been set, and the band prefers to complete the entire album before issuing singles. Band members describe the process as producing extreme emotional highs and lows, finding empowerment in hearing Cornell's voice alongside gut-wrenching reminders of his absence. A legal dispute with Cornell's widow was resolved in April 2023, and Thayil has expressed optimism about the release.
