Chris Cornell reveals Higher Truth artwork

Chris Cornell has revealed the cover art for fourth solo album Higher Truth.

He asks fans to “scratch” his website and reveal the design he’s chosen.

The follow-up to 2011’s Songbook was produced by Brendan O’Brien and is released on September 18, with further details to be released in due course. It’s supported with an extensive acoustic tour of North America, New Zealand and Australia.

Cornell has also been busy with Soundgarden, who are due back in the studio this year to record their first material since 2012’s King Animal.

The vocalist recently revealed he’d like to take part in an Audioslave reunion, following similar comments from guitarist Tom Morello.
