Seattle's heaviest secret was about to go global when Soundgarden released Ultramega OK, their full-length debut, presented here on CD.
Released in 1988, it captured Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Hiro Yamamoto and Matt Cameron at their most untamed, a few years before the grunge explosion made them household names. Recorded for an independent label, the album mixes the sludgy weight of Black Sabbath with punk energy, psychedelic detours and a sense of humour that the band rarely gets credit for.
"Flower" opens with an eerie, droning intro before Thayil's guitars come crashing in, setting the tone for everything that follows. "All Your Lies" is a bruising, stop-start riff fest, while "Beyond the Wheel" showcases Cornell's astonishing range, swooping from a low growl to an air-raid wail. Their muscular take on Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning" nods to the blues roots buried beneath all that noise.
It is rough around the edges, but that rawness is part of the appeal, the sound of a band discovering how huge they could be. Cameron's drumming is already a marvel, nimble and thunderous at once.
For fans who know Soundgarden mainly through Superunknown, this is a thrilling look at where the story started, loud, strange and full of promise.
