CD album 'Audioslave' by Audioslave

Audioslave's self-titled debut album was released on November 19, 2002, by Epic Records and Interscope Records. The supergroup formed in 2001, bringing together former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk with former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. The album achieved triple platinum status in the United States and spawned hit singles including 'Cochise,' 'Like a Stone,' and 'Show Me How to Live,' becoming one of the defining rock albums of the early 2000s. This album is highly valued by rock and alternative metal collectors, particularly fans of 1990s and 2000s grunge and hard rock movements. The fusion of Rage Against the Machine's instrumental power with Cornell's distinctive vocals created a unique sound that resonated with a generation of music fans. Original pressings and special editions of this album remain sought after by music collectors and Audioslave enthusiasts who appreciate its cultural significance in bridging the gap between two iconic bands of the era.
