Listen to Black Rain and Pre-Order Telephantasm

Syndicate content

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.

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 Wink

I find it crazy that this song has been kept hidden for 20 or so years.

Truly decent, nice song! Smile Chris Cornell should've added more hits, esp. the one that many people are mentioning, "Like Suicide" :/

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!

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.

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!

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?

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.

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?

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!!!

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.

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
