Screaming Trees were chosen by Nirvana band leader Kurt Cobain to appear on the final day of the Reading Festival in the United Kingdom on August 30, 1992, which Nirvana headlined . Screaming Trees also played at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark in 1992 which Nirvana headlined as well. The band supported Sweet Oblivion with a year-long tour, during which tension developed among the members. After the tour was finished, the group took an extended hiatus. During that time, Lanegan recorded his second solo album, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost , which was released in 1994. The following year, Lanegan was featured as a guest vocalist in the Barrett Martin (alongside Layne Staley and Mike McCready ) side project Mad Season . Lanegan co-wrote and sang on two songs. Mad Season would only release one studio album because of Staley’s deteriorating health and the 1999 death of bassist John Baker Saunders . Mad Season attempted to reform with Lanegan on lead vocals, changing the band’s name to “Disinformation”, however the project never got off the ground. In 2013 Mad Season released a deluxe version of their debut album, including three songs from the Disinformation sessions with new lyrics and vocals by Lanegan.
