It’s been almost two decades since rock supergroup Audioslave released their self-titled debut album, but the impact of that album can still be felt today. Featuring former members of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave was a much-anticipated release that exceeded all expectations. Today, as we look back on the album, it’s clear that it was a defining moment for the band and a significant milestone in the history of rock music.
Audioslave’s self-titled debut is a 14-track album that blends hard rock, grunge, and alternative rock in a way that’s both familiar and fresh. The album’s opening track, “Cochise,” is a thunderous call to arms that sets the tone for what’s to come. Lead singer Chris Cornell’s powerful vocals are front and center throughout the album, accompanied by the heavy riffs and intricate guitar work of Tom Morello.
