SOUNDGARDEN will release King Animal, the band’s first new studio album in over 15 years, on November 13th in Canada via Vertigo Records/Universal Music Canada and in the US via Universal Republic. The album will be released a day earlier in Europe.

King Animal will feature the following tracks:

'Been Away Too Long'

'Non-State Actor'

'By Crooked Steps'

'A Thousand Days Before'

'Blood On The Valley Floor'

'Bones of Birds'

'Taree'

'Attrition'

'Black Saturday'

'Halfway There'

'Worse Dreams'

'Eyelid’s Mouth'

'Rowing'

According to a press release, the writing and recording of the album was a true collaborative effort. Riotous album opener and first single 'Been Away Too Long' finds Soundgarden back at it with a double-edged blast of homecoming celebration and urban angst. King Animal can be explosive, as in 'Blood On The Valley Floor', nightmarish ('Worse Dreams') or wistful ('Halfway There'), leading us through changing sonic landscapes that can embrace both the jazz inflections of 'Black Saturday' and the feral rocker 'Attrition', with compelling lyrics by bassist Ben Shepherd. The subject matter is broad - Kim Thayil’s lyrics for 'Non-State Actor' are a sharp and cynical take on the powers behind political thrones, while Cornell’s bruised and introspective 'Bones of Birds' explores the terrors and vulnerabilities of parenthood.

Soundgarden remain a truly ‘alternative’ band as they embark on the next chapter of their journey, steadfast in their roots with 15 years of growth behind them. King Animal follows the musical evolution of one of the world’s most ground breaking bands. This is a long awaited return for both the band and fans alike.
