Nudedragons is an anagram of Soundgarden. When Soundgarden played their first secret reunion show in 2010 at the Showbox, they played under the name Nudedragons.

There is no news about the posthumously unreleased Soundgarden album, which should still contain Road Less Traveled, Orphans, At Ophians Door, Cancer, Stone Age Mind, Ahead of the Dog and Merrmas, recorded in 2016 and the beginning of 2017, a few months before the tragic death of Chris Cornell.
