Yesterday, a twenty-two second snippet of a song called “Live to Rise” by Soundgarden was released. The song is part of a new album called Avengers Assemble, which compiles music from and inspired by the Avengers movie. The entire album will consist of 14 different tracks, which will be released on May 1, 2012.
The Soundgarden song is of special note, because it’s their first new song in 15 years. Soundgarden has sold over 21 million records worldwide, and they have two Grammy Awards and seven Grammy nominations. In 2010, band members Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd, announced they were reuniting. “Live to Rise” will be played during the end credits of The Avengers movie.
Soundgarden stated, “We’ve been hard at work on our new album, which will come out this Fall. When the opportunity arose to write an original single for Marvel’s The Avengers film came our way, we thought it could be a cool match. We are excited to release our new single ‘Live To Rise,’ which is also the only new single in the film. Here’s a taste. Loudest of Love.”
