Black Rain was recorded during the Badmotorfinger sessions, but never released. Until now. Come listen.
Thanks to our buddy Sami at the Rock It Out! Blog, who caught this radio broadcast from Seattle’s 107.7 The End.
Black Rain will appear on a forthcoming greatest hits album called Telephantasm: A Retrospective, out September 28th. The song will also be available on the new Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock game, out on the same day. You can score a free copy of Telephantasm by pre-ordering Warriors Of Rock. More info on that deal here.


















This is too awesome.
It makes my soul happy.
Hell yes!
You guys single handedly made my entire week just now.
holy fuck.
YES
what a massive song, I hope those guys release new album, but something going back to their roots. Cornell sounds amazing and band is tight as fuck they can write great material ( I hope so ! )
absolutely not going to happen.
I only fear that a new Soundgarden album could sound more like a 4th audioslave album or, even worst, a 4th cornell solo album.
In the other hand, it’s great to see Cameron/Thayil/Shepherd getting back together.
Absolutely possible.
ooops, I mean, writing a new album is absolutely possible. I know Chris mentioned that he was thinking about it……
Boo! Give us a new album!
