One of the most highly anticipated supergroups of recent times, Audioslave are the merger of Rage Against The Machine (minus singer Zach de la Rocha) and Soundgarden's vocalist, Chris Cornell. An interesting combination, the music and riffs sound like those of Rage Against The Machine and the singing sounds like that of Soundgarden, but they go together well. In addition to the well covered territory of hard-pounding rock anthems, the formation has also produced a few ballads, such as "I Am The Highway", that are amongst the most popular songs in their repertoire.
Their last album, Out of Exile, was released on 24th May 2005. The first single off the album, "Be Yourself", is a surprisingly mellow choice but has been well-received (and has a really cool, if simple, wah-wah guitar solo!!)
Audioslave's next album, Revelations, is due for release in June. According to Cornell, the group have explored their R&B side on this record - so expect something different!

This is a really good group. My daughter played "Be Yourself" for me. They are not just talented but they are nice looking men. The singer resembles my younger brother, and the drummer of the group is HOT.

Audioslave is a modern day supergroup. It comprises of three members of 'Rage Against The Machine' and Chris Cornell, formerly of 'Soundgarden'. The group was originally called 'Civilian' but eventually they bought the name 'Audioslave' from a band located in Liverpool, England. Their music has a big epic sound to it, very dynamic and very driven. It does, in many ways, display what was so great about its members previous bands. The riffs of Tom Morello are still new and interesting and the vocals of Chris Cornell are still unbelievably brilliant. This band is a must see and the album, a must buy!
