Soundgarden final album production

Entities: Kim Thayil · Soundgarden · Chris Cornell · Matt Cameron · Joe Barresi

Overview

By the end of July 2026, Soundgarden’s long‑awaited final album—built around eight posthumous Chris Cornell vocal demos—has entered the final mixing stage. Drummer Matt Cameron confirmed that the mix‑down is underway, with the surviving members Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd adding the remaining instrumental parts. The legal dispute with Cornell’s estate that stalled the project was settled in 2023, allowing the band to resume work. Cameron noted that a few guitar tracks still need Thayil’s attention and the group may incorporate additional material before completion. No official release date has been set, but the progress suggests the album is close to being finished and will serve as the band’s last studio offering featuring Cornell’s voice.
