AUDIOSLAVE 'Faster, More Efficient' On Third Album

February 13, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: AUDIOSLAVE is well into the recording process on its third album, which the band tentatively plans to release in June. Lead singer Chris Cornell told Launch how the process has changed for the group this time around. "It's just really gotten a little bit faster, I believe, and more efficient," he said. "We started out with the attitude that we wanted to just go into a room, the four of us, and write songs on the spot with everyone always there, and then also make our records that way. We started out doing that very well, and really what's happening is that the music stylistically is growing and changing, which it naturally will, but the process is really still the same."

The yet-to-be-titled new disc will follow up 2005's "Out of Exile".

AUDIOSLAVE is recording with producer Brendan O'Brien, who's worked as either a producer or mixer for the bandmembers' previous groups, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and SOUNDGARDEN.

Chris Cornell was recently selected by clothing designer John Varvatos as the face of the ad campaign for his 2006 spring line. Photos from the campaign, which will run for six months, can be seen at JohnVarvatos.com.
