Rising at the end of the 20th Century, SOUNDGARDEN were loud, heavy,
genuine, and unaffected by whatever was cool. Their mix of weighty
power, soaring melodies and punk sneer made them ideal standard bearers
for the grunge movement, but their towering musicianship and intelligent
songcraft helped them transcend the era and remain iconic far beyond
their origins in the Seattle scene. Arguably their finest and most
comprehensive statement, "Superunknown" was the album that launched them
to global mega-stardom. It contains some of the most lasting,
meaningful, and heaviest songs they ever wrote.
"Superunknown Redux" presents new takes on all fifteen tracks from the
seminal SOUNDGARDEN album from some of the loudest, coolest, and most
eclectic bands across rock and metal today, along with a few less heavy
but absolutely captivating contributions.
Along with "Superunknown Redux", we also present our "Best of
Soundgarden Redux" companion album, offering up another 15 all-time
classics and deep cuts from across the rest of the grunge gods'
extensive catalogue.
The Magnetic Eye Redux Series features hand-picked classic albums from
across the history of rock and metal re-imagined in their entirety from
start to finish. Artists we love from within and outside the heavy rock
landscape choose tracks to make their own, bringing these milestone
records into the new millennium with crushing heaviness and searing
energy. To date, we've produced Redux editions of PINK FLOYD's "The
Wall", HELMET's "Meantime", BLACK SABBATH's "Vol. 4", HENDRIX's
"Electric Ladyland", ALICE IN CHAINS' "Dirt", and AC/DC's "Back in
Black", which have included artists like RED FANG, MATT PIKE,
PALLBEARER, THE MELVINS, ALL THEM WITCHES, KHEMMIS, ASG, SUPERSUCKERS,
ZAKK WYLDE, MARK LANEGAN, RUBY THE HATCHET, and many more amazing
artists.
Tune into the seventh foray into Redux territory as Magnetic Eye Records
and friends pay long-due respect to the Seattle legends with
"Superunknown Redux".
