Mark Menghi has assembled an all-star tribute to Chris Cornell called King Ultramega. It is an all-consuming project for him as he is not only gathering the musicians, but also producing and planning the recordings, and contributing bass. Six songs have been released since Summer 2025's first release, Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage", with four more recordings on the horizon. All ten tracks in total will stretch the length of Chris Cornell's career, from Soundgarden to Temple Of The Dog and Audioslave.
You can follow along with King Ultramega on social media, listen to these songs on your favorite streaming apps, or visit the website for merch and music videos at kingultramega.com.
The first physical release has been a 12 inch single of "Rusty Cage" and "The Day I Tried To Live", which is available through Reigning Phoenix Music.
Thanks to Mark Menghi for being a guest on Episode 237 of A-SIDES.
