Soundgarden have announced details of the release of their first new song in 15 years, 'Live to Rise'. The song will be featured in the end credits to this year's highly anticipated movie, 'Marvel's The Avengers'. 'Live to Rise' is included on 'Avengers Assemble', a 14-track compilation of music from and inspired by the film. 'Avengers Assemble' will be released on Monday 23rd April.
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 song for 'Marvel's The Avengers' film, we thought it could be a cool match. We are excited to release our new song 'Live To Rise,' which is also the only new song in the film. Here's a taste. Loudest of Love."
A clip of 'Live to Rise' can be found over on the band's YouTube Channel. Check it out below.
With over 21 million records sold worldwide, Soundgarden redefined rock music for a whole generation and had a revolutionary impact on the course of musical history. At the dawn of 2010, the band, Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd, announced a new beginning. In the last two years since Soundgarden has reunited, they have headlined festivals, toured the world and released their first retrospective titled 'Telephantasm' which included the previously unreleased song, 'Black Rain' and their first live album, 'Live on I-5'. The band are currently in the studio in Seattle writing and recording their first LP in over 15 years, which is set for release later this year.
