 Audioslave | Speak Out "Audioslave is much more than a supergroup or a merger of Rage Against The Machine and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. They’re a musical powerhouse, for sure, but they also have a social conscience and work consistently for change and to open people’s minds. |
NUVO caught up with drummer Brad Wilk during a stop in Philadelphia for a telephone interview.
NUVO: There’s so much contradictory press about the band, and so much speculation about the origins of the band.
Wilk: What do you mean?

Audioslave Get Ready For New Album
"Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell has revealed that the band finished writing all of the material for its third album. The announcement was made during October 29th performance at New York's Madison Square Garden. The group then played one of the tracks that'll make the LP. Cornell said the song was still untitled, and even had its lyrics written down on the stage so he wouldn't forget them. 'I only wrote them last week,' he said."
