In 2002, two of the most successful and distinct bands came together to form one of the best rock bands of the 2000s. JP, Matt and Amy are here to talk about it.

Last week, Amy selected Audioslave's self-titled debut album for Music Mayhem. Audioslave has the distinction of being one of the few supergroups to find massive success with audiences, combining the talents of Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden. Those these bands are drastically distinct in sound, their formation created and unmistakably awesome sound reminiscent of the traditional classic rock of the 70s, being compared to such groups as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

It's difficult to talk about Audioslave and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell without acknowledging the darker aspects of his work, as well as his tragic death. As a result the episode gets a little heavy, bringing up topics of depression and suicide, and how we deal with it using music and art.
