Check out a theatrical version of the final music video by late SOUNDGARDEN, etc. frontman Chris Cornell filmed before purportedly taking his own life this past May is now available. The clip was for his song ‘The Promise‘, which was written for the film of the same name. This particular version also features a different arrangement than that which was featured in the previous cut of the video.
“You’ve heard the saying about someone who is truly phenomenal at their craft only coming around maybe once every hundred years? Ladies and gentleman, there will not ever be another rock performer on the level of SOUNDGARDEN and AUDIOSLAVE vocalist Chris Cornell… for at least another one thousand years. If there was ever anyone who actually earned the title of greatest rock vocalist of all time, I do believe it is none other than Chris Cornell.” – Randy “Rocket” Cody, The Metal Den
Chris Cornell is a modern innovator who transcends genre. He was the chief architect of the 90s grunge movement and remains one of the best rock voices of all time.
Achieving multi-platinum success with three legendary bands – selling over 30 million records worldwide – he has forged his own unique identity over three decades as a Grammy award-winning, Golden Globe nominated singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer and lyricist.
His career began with Seattle trailblazers Soundgarden, whose wild soundscapes combined visceral punk attitude with artistic depth. Powerfully original, they were the first of their generation of Seattle bands to sign to a major label in 1989 and their work continued to evolve over the course of seven groundbreaking albums. Soundgarden made a historic return to the live stage in 2010 and have since toured the world, releasing the all-new studio album, KING ANIMAL, to widespread acclaim.
