Soundgarden is a rock band.
 Following Cornell's death in 2017 and a year of uncertainty regarding the band's future, Thayil declared in October 2018 that Soundgarden had disbanded once again, though they did reunite in January 2019 for a one-off concert in tribute to Cornell
 However, Soundgarden did not achieve success initially, and only with successive album releases did the band meet with increased sales and wider attention
