Audioslave

The Profile

Audioslave was an American rock supergroup formed by Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) with Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk. The band released three studio albums before disbanding.

Formed in 2001; debut album "Audioslave" released in 2002, followed by "Out of Exile" (2005) and "Revelations" (2006). Often discussed in relation to Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden, with Tom Morello’s guitar style and Cornell’s vocals frequently singled out in reviews.

Across 19 DeBaser reviews, Audioslave get treated like a courtroom case: some call the debut energetic hard rock, others dismiss it as predictable and derivative. Out of Exile is often framed as radio-friendly and ballad-heavy, with Cornell praised more than the band. Revelations is the consensus “comeback” in this set—more varied, more energetic, and less bland. Live reports highlight raw power and crowd reactions, plus nods to Soundgarden/RATM classics.
