"It's been a really amazing and bittersweet process." Matt Cameron on the emotion of making a new Soundgarden album using demo vocals recorded by the late Chris Cornell

Work on a final Soundgarden album is about 70% complete – and it has been tough for the band to hear Cornell's voice "loud and clear"

The songs were written in 2015 and 2016, with Cornell laying down vocals on demos before his death in 2017.
With the vocal tracks as their guiding light, drummer Cameron, bassist Ben Shepherd and guitarist Kim Thayil have been building the songs around Cornell's voice. And the process of making what will be Soundgarden's seventh and final album has been bittersweet, admits Cameron.
He tells Lyndsanity! with Lyndsey Parker: "It's been a really amazing and bittersweet process. We are in the process of finishing it. We don't have a release date yet, but I'd say we're about 70% finished with all the tracking and stuff.

"But, yeah, it's been tough to solo up that voice and hear him loud and clear. But I think the fans will like it and it's gonna be a really nice way to finish the creative chapter in Soundgarden."
