This Grunge Alternative-Metal band formed in 1984 in Seattle, Washington USA by lead singer Chris Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Hiro Yamamoto and drummer Matt Cameron.

In the summer of 1987, the quartet released the first single, "Hunted Down", during that year followed the 6-track EP "Screaming Life" and in 1988 one more EP titled "Fopp" in advance of the band's debut full-length album,"Ultramega OK".
Signing to a major label, A&M Records, a year later, the group released its second album, "Louder Than Love", cracking The Billboard 200 chart.
Shortly after the album's release however, Yamamoto left and was first replaced by ex-Nirvana member Jason Everman and eventually permanently by Ben Shepherd in early 1990.
The year 1991 saw, Cornell and Cameron collaborated with members of Pearl Jam in Temple Of The Dog, a tribute to Mother Love Bone lead singer, Andrew Wood, who overdosed in 1990 and Soundgarden's third album, "Badmotorfinger", climbed The Billboard Top 200 peaking at #39 and spawning the alt-Rock radio-friendly single "Jesus Christ Pose".
During the following few years Soundgarden toured extensively and supported Guns 'N Roses in the States, their next album was the breakthrough "Superunknown", it rose to the top spot in U.S. Top 200 chart, upon its release in March 1994 spawning three Mainstream Rock top 5 hit singles including the #1 "Black Hole Sun", "Fell On Black Days" and "Spoonman" plus the #11 "My Wave" and the #13 "The Day I Tried To Live", all the five single cuts also stormed The Modern Rock Tracks chart sending the album into triple-platinum territory and finally Soundgarden took home two Grammy Awards: "Black Hole Sun" won for Best Hard Rock Performance and "Spoonman" for Best Metal Performance.
The band's fifth albun, 1996's "Down On The Upside", peaked at #2 on Billboard's Top 200 chart highlighted by two #1s Active Rock hit singles: "Blow Up The Outside World" and "Burden In My Hand", followed two more singles, "Pretty Noose" and "Rhinosaur" which reached the #4 and #19 spots respectively on The Mainstream Rock chart.

On April 9, 1997, the members of Soundgarden stunned the music world by announcing that they were disbanding; Cameron replaced Jack Irons behind the Pearl Jam's drum kit and Chris Cornell embarked on a solo career.

"A-Sides", a retrospective collection, was issued in November of 1997, the record contained "Bleed Together", a previously unreleased track, which peaked at #13 on Mainstream Rock chart.
