Listen to Black Rain and Pre-Order Telephantasm
Black Rain is the new single from "Telephantasm".
“Black Rain” is a gem circa Badmotorfinger that was never completed during that session. It had been forgotten and almost lost until it was retrieved, re-arranged and finished by the newly attentive band along with an always allegiant set of producers; Terry Date, Stuart Hallerman and most actively Adam Kasper.”
The artwork for Telephantasm will blow your mind. Click here to check it out. Even if you didn't get a chance to witness Soundgarden's triumphant return to the stage in Chicago, you can still pick up some cool gear here.

Pretty awesome tune.
Making the hair stick up on the back of my neck, fuck yes!
How the hell this song didn't end on BMF baffles my mind.
Wow! This song took me into a trip through the best years of my life!
I love Soundgarden!
After so long it's awesome to see soundgarden release another album. the art work is amazing and the song rocks even more.
thank you SG.
So strong
This could have easily have been on "Louder Than Love" instead of "Badmotorfinger". Reminds me of the transition between Rush "Permanent Waves" > "Moving Pictures". The songs kinda evolved gracefully between the two albums.
Pure excellence. The Badmotorfinger era embodies who Soundgarden is.
I can't fucking believe how much has changed this beatiful site, and they allow us to listen the full version of Black Rain exclusively without have to buy it on iTunes. The background is also great, and all this new design. At last, the update this site deserved.
Oh, and I almost forget. Black Rain is definitely one of their greatest songs in their whole career. And this is definitely a triumphant return. We should be glad of living this days.
Oh, how I hate patience... I want Telephantasm now!! I'll be pressing play over and over for an hour or so 
I find it crazy that this song has been kept hidden for 20 or so years.
BMF is still my favorite album. I now have a new/old favorite to add to my best of SG playlist! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
AWESOME!!!!
...You can't stutter when you're talking with your eyes...
(did I hear right? haha)
Truly decent, nice song!
Chris Cornell should've added more hits, esp. the one that many people are mentioning, "Like Suicide" :/
Me Likey, very ultramega ok sounding, beyond the wheel, not to mention heavy!
I like the song. I've been listening it many times this past week.
I'm really waiting for new ones to come.
Who did the artwork?
Thanks for posting it here & let people comment!
Greetings from Venezuela.
Love this song! Absolutely sounds like it pre-dates BMF. Maybe spillover from Louder Than Love, before they really polished the sound to a darker, more brooding sound that was wrongly considered "metal" by MTV dipshits. It was great to hear Chris solo and with AudioSlave, but I'm glad he's home with Kim, Ben, and Matt. Let's do it all again!
Sehr toll.
Sounds like what I expected... and what I needed. Can't wait for the album and ... a tour?
This is such a defining moment in music right now, the introduction of a new single from the reunited Soundgarden. It blew my mind, such an amazing tune and the symbolism of it almost brought a tear to my eye in the midst of the immense headbanging.
Badass song, really cool to hear 'new' stuff. And, good lord, the artwork is equally badass!
You sure did, epic line.
Cry on, Black Rain.
Makes me giddy all over!! Dates! We want some tour dates!!!
FRICKIN AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS BAND... 1O YRS WAS TOO LONG OF A WAIT!!!
That voice, that sound--still makes the hair on my arms stand up 
Hell yeah! That tune is THE SHIT!!
No other band can replace the wish of listening to Soundgarden and it's been a while before this song. Can't wait to listen what you guys have been preparing for us again!
Soundgarden is my religion, and I've been to church every day for the past 12 years... I love you guys!
The guitar in the beginning sounds like the intro of BMF. "A Cow says" Then that incredible roar that makes the hair stand on end!!!! Anyone else hear this?
En España os esperamos como no os pedéis imaginar...
thank you SG! i love it!
i'll wait for telephantasm... and i hope, form more new albums and tour dates.
Heavy.
Fucking AWESOME to hear some new Soundgarden, even if it's old
Great tune! Beginning reminds me a bit of "searching with my good eye closed".
Pure Soundgarden. Awsome track. How it happened it didn't end up on Badmotorfinger? And where it was for all these years??
Cover is so cool - that wolf, raven and all that stuff, lightnings, someone did really grat job.
HELL YEAH!!!
The planets are aligned!!!
The album will be released on 28th September???? That's my birhtday !!!! Can'twait to buy it
You're the greatest band ever Soundgarden !!!!!!
LOVE IT! Can't wait to get the single release 
good to see that they still give such an artistic quality sound,scene,and artwork choicesreally appreciable
Ah yes..."THE MESSIAHS OF ROCK" are finally here, 13 years is far too long to wait. WELCOME BACK S.G!!!
Wheres the b-sides thou? ie Cold Bitch/Blind Dogs/Christi/Shes A Politician...etc?
Any chance we might see a Blu-ray release for Telephantasm with high resolution 24-bit versions of all the tracks, perhaps even a 5.1 surround sound mix?
Hey, wait, what's this outro??? Is it a part of the song, or is it another song????
Fuckin cool song!
Good old stuff Soundgarden. Nice to hear a song from that period without the annoying snare from Badmotorfinger (sorry had to say it, that's the only thing I don't like about BMF)
But this song is great, maybe from another session?
European tour sometime soon?
Thanks guys!!!
OHHHHHWWW YHEAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING SOOOO LONGG FOR A NEW SOUNDGARDEN SONG I THOUGHT IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN MY DREAMS BUT HERE IT IS....... AND ITS FUKIN GOOOOOD....GOOSBUMPS ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG UP!!!!
HOLY CRAP! The album artwork is the best embodiment of SG and this era I've ever seen. Dogs, Armageddon, industrial scrap, bald eagle settled on an off-kilter crucifix etc. The eagle symbolizing the triumphal, majestic element of the music (also well represented in the jangly guitar chords in the bridge from Outshined - "So now you know - who gets mystified"). The song is brilliant. Reminds me of "Cold Bitch". I heard it streamed a week or so ago, but it grows even more on each listen. The artwork is perfectly complementary.
Soundgarden is good... without an 'o'
Amazing song!!! Can't wait to have in on Telephantasm 
Keeping fingers crossed for a new album!
Of course it rocks but new material? Please? Love you guys.
I did not expect much of this rarity-compiled album but this tune is awesome! I'm stocked! Can't wait 'til I got my hands on Telephantasm. Nice artwork too!
Great 'new' song and compilation! And finally... the VIDEOS!!!
Looking forward to a CD of all new songs, too (hopefully).
Howz bout a cross-Canada tour?
Hearing this song makes me feel the way I did the first time I heard Soundgarden for the first time!!
Why this song did not make it on "Badmotorfinger" , I do not know!!!
Please tour soon....I did not get to see them perform live back in the day. It has been a lifelong dream of mine that they would get back together so that I would have the chance
Cry on Black Rain!!! --Awesome
TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!!
