AUDIOSLAVE.

Chris Cornell's voice met the rhythm section of Rage Against the Machine. Over the course of three albums, Audioslave found a language of its own, somewhere between heavy riffs, soul, and silence.

First you hear that peculiar, rattling guitar. Then the band comes in and Cochise seems to rip the door off its hinges. Audioslave introduced themselves in 2002 with a sound that could feel familiar, yet pointed in a different direction.

Chris Cornell had given a voice to the heavy, jagged rock of Seattle with Soundgarden. Guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk came from Rage Against the Machine. After Zack de la Rocha left that band, producer Rick Rubin brought the musicians to Cornell. They started playing together in 2001.

Their past was audible. Morello could make his guitar sputter and scream as if he were operating a turntable. Commerford and Wilk gave the music a solid, agile foundation. Cornell introduced long melodic lines, with a voice that could go from a grainy whisper to an open scream. His vocals demanded a different space than the rhythmic assault of a rapper.
