Soundgarden is back.... with video game included

Reunited rockers Soundgarden have made the most of new technology – they´ve released their first new album in 14 years via hit video game Guitar Hero.

The band, fronted by Chris Cornell signed a deal with video game bosses to feature their new project, Telephantasm, in its entirety on the new Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, which was released in the U.S past week.

The album features some of the group´s biggest hits from the 90´s as well as a number of previous unreleased tracks.

Cornell admits Soundgarden agreed to the rare move in a bid to reach a new generation of rock fans. He says, "In the obvious way, it's going to reach a certain amount of younger people that either may or may not know about Soundgarden. … No matter what, I feel like releasing it this way is going to reach a lot of people who have not heard our music or have not heard a lot of it."

Soundgarden fans are thrilled to hear the release of this long-expected album, so for the better of Chris Cornell and the band, we hope this is a killer album!
