It’s been more than two years since Soundgarden reunited with a not-so-surprise-show at the Showbox and so far the reunion has resulted in only one piece of new music (okay, two if you count “Black Rain” as something new). That should change in October if Chris Cornell’s recent comments to Rolling Stone ring true.

Cornell was talking with the magazine about the band’s song “Live to Rise,” which was written specifically for The Avengers soundtrack. He said the song isn’t like most of the material the band has recorded for the new album but that it would fit in on the album.
