Reunited grunge-era titans Soundgarden this week debuted the appropriately titled “Been Away Too Long,” the first song off forthcoming record King Animal, the group’s first new studio album in 16 years. The rocker, which you can hear via the clip above, is the second new song to emerge since the band reunited in 2010. King Animal arrives Nov. 13, and will be Soundgarden’s first since Down on the Upside in 1996.
