American rock band Soundgarden has just unveiled their new clip for "Live to Rise," the grunge heroes's first newly recorded song in 15 years, and it will not appear on Soundgarden's upcoming new album as the band wrote the soundtrack for the new film, "Marvel's The Avengers," features iconic Marvel Super Heroes team up together to fight the foes no single hero could withstand, is just in time released in theaters across the United States Friday and tops box office.Soundgarden, headed up by lead singer Chris Cornell, was one of the seminal bands in the creation of grunge, a style of alternative rock that developed in Seattle in the early '90s. The new track combines the band's heavy riffs and guitar heroics with sensitive balladry and a psychedelic intermission perfect for scoring a summer blockbuster. "Live to Rise" continues a tradition of Marvel movies using rock songs over the credits.
Comparing the song to the one he crafted for "Machine Gun Preacher", Cornell told THR, "This song came arduously. It's different, because it has to be a Soundgarden song. It has to resonate with every band member. Writing a song for the 'Avengers' film, it has to be lyrically not specific to the movie or the story, but it has to work with it. It wasn't so easy. But it turned out absolutely a Soundgarden song."
The Robert Hales-directed epic and cinematic video features frontman Cornell and his Seattle rock bandmates delivering a searing live performance inside a warehouse under the glowing blue Tesseract-like orbs with footage from the superheroes movie intercepting every once in a while. Cornell's soaring powerhouse vocals sound they could have been lifted off one of their classic albums from the early '90s.
