Overview
Originally released in 1994, Superunknown stands as one of the defining albums of the 1990s rock era. This 2014 remastered edition from A&M/Universal brings new clarity and depth to the album’s dark, layered sound. Featuring Chris Cornell’s haunting vocals, Kim Thayil’s innovative guitar work, and the powerful rhythm section of Ben Shepherd and Matt Cameron, the record blends heavy metal intensity with lyrical introspection.
With anthems like Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, and Fell on Black Days, Superunknown marked Soundgarden’s creative peak and helped define the grunge movement while exploring themes of alienation, resilience, and the search for meaning.
