NEW SOUNDGARDEN - TELEPHANTASM

You had to know that when Soundgarden reunited this summer that there would be a new album forthcoming. “Telephantasm” is a compilation album with previously unreleased material as well as hit songs and rarities spanning the band's thirteen-year career. It is scheduled to be released on September 28, 2010 in multiple formats.

The career-spanning retrospective album will be released in multiple formats, a single CD, that includes an unreleased track, "Black Rain.”  The 1-CD version of the album will also be featured in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, with "Black Rain" available on the disc, and the remaining eleven tracks available as downloadable content alongside release of the game. Additional formats will include a 2-CD +DVD and an ultimate set including 3LP +2CD +DVD.

Black Rain is the first single from the album and the first single that Soundgarden has released since 1997. The song was recorded during sessions for “Badmotorfinger” and, according to Chris Cornell in an interview with USA Today, "Black Rain" captures "that super heavy version (of the band) we were finally realizing to its fullest potential about 1991."
