Soundgarden fans will likely have some stuff from their archives to look forward to next year.
2026 is the 30th anniversary of Down on the Upside, and guitarist Kim Thayil says they're looking at an anniversary reissue for that and something for their 1989 album Louder Than Love.
"We're starting work on addressing the catalog and the anniversary issue. And we got caught up in some other things. And, also Louder Than Love. We pretty much had an anniversary box for Louder Than Love in the can with Hiro [Yamamoto] and then some live stuff we had done with Jason [Everman] at the time and some demo stuff. So it was kind of ready to go and again, you know, some stuff was put on hold for a period of years and we'll revisit it."
While Thayil wasn't that forthcoming about why the Louder Than Love set was delayed, it's likely due to the lengthy legal issues the band went through with Chris Cornell's widow Vicky. Those issues, which included the remaining songs they did with Cornell, were finally settled in 2023.
