Soundgarden revealed new album details

American rock band from Seattle Soundgarden was on hiatus basically since 1997 after they released their last studio album entitled Down on the Upside (it came out on May 21, 1996) until January 1, 2010 when they informed via their Twitter account that their 12-year long break is over.

Earlier this year they released one new track as part of The Avengers movie soundtrack. Song called "Live To Rise" is actually pretty good:

Well, now is officially confirmed what a lot of people was expecting - Soundgarden will release full-length album. The LP called King Animal will come out on November 13 via Seven Four Entertainment/Republic Records. It was recorded in at Studio X in Seattle and was produced by Adam Kasper who previously worked with the band on 1994's fourth studio record called Superunknown.

I'm really glad that this record is truly a group effort because everybody contributed to the new album with something. For instance, guitarist Kim Thayil wrote lyrics for the track "Non-State Actor," and bassist Ben Shepherd contributed the lyrics for "Attrition."

The band also made a trailer, which you can watch below.

Tracklisting of King Animal:

1. "Been Away Too Long"
2. "Non-State Actor"
3. "By Crooked Steps"
4. "A Thousand Days Before"
5. "Blood On The Valley Floor"
6. "Bones of Birds"

Song of the day: Ortopilot - "With Or Without You" (cover)

Ortopilot is an YouTube artist, which does a lot of awesome music videos. He does mainly covers of popular songs of various genres. He always kind of change the arrangements of the song and you can really hear it is Ortopilot's work. I definitely recommend you to check out his channel.

Roughly four months ago, he posted cover video of U2's great track "With Or Without You", which he recorded with another YouTuber mikiecollings1. It is awesome duet, which you can check out below.

Watch new Sigur Rós music video

Sigur Rós revealed another music video as part of their ongoing Valtari Mistery Film Experiment. The band has decided to give dozen film makers the same budget and ask them to make video which will capture their feelings during listening to Valtari. Interesting thing is that they have given complete freedom to these film makers. Fans can also vote, which video is the best.

Video called "Seraph" is the ninth video. It was made by Dash Shaw (comic book artist) and John Cameron Mitchell (cult film director). It features snippets of Valtari tracks "Rembihnútur" and "Ekki Múkk".

The video is pretty wild because it features a lot of depressing and gritty surrealism. You can watch it below.

You can also watch all other videos entitled "Ég anda" 1, "Ég anda" 2, "Varúð" 1, "Varúð" 2, "Fjögur píanó", "Rembihnútur", "Varðeldur" and "Dauðalogn" via the website mentioned above.

According to that website, next video is coming on September 24 and I will definitely inform you about  it right after it comes out.
