Soundgarden Set To Record In March [VIDEO]

New music from Soundgarden is coming and they start working on it THIS MONTH!

"We start recording in about a week in Seattle,” Chris Cornell tells SPIN. Cornell also confirms that Adam Kasper, who worked on Soundgarden’s last album, 1996′s “Down on the Upside,” will produce.

So far there isn't a due date for the album, but the band is NOT procrastinating:

"We don’t have a schedule,” says Cornell. “It’s not like we are going to go into the studio and come out when we’re finished with an album. We’re putting the music first. The process of writing, recording, and being creative together is the most important thing, not meeting a deadline.”

Soundgarden will work around Chris Cornell’s solo “Songbook” tour this Spring, as well as some live dates from Soundgarden:

“We plan on playing shows for sure — that’s never been in question,” Chris explains. “Then, when we have some time again, we’ll get back into the studio.”  “The main thing that got in the way of us wanting to be in Soundgarden is that long cycle of write, record, promote, release, tour — then do it all over again,” explains Cornell. “It all fit into a schedule and Soundgarden come completely from indie roots. We were a Do It Yourself band that became part of a bigger picture. But we’re being really carefully now to do this on our own time.”

I say, take your time, just don't take as much time as the Red Hot Chili Peppers took to release their double CD Stadium Arcadium.
