The reunited Soundgarden this fall will issue Telephantasm, a new best-of spanning the band’s debut on the seminal 1986 proto-grunge comp Deep Six to its final album, Down on the Upside, a decade later — with a previously unreleased Badmotorfinger outtake thrown in for good measure.
Due out Sept. 27 in Europe and Sept. 28 in the U.S., Telephantasm will be released in three different editions: as a 12-track single disc, a deluxe edition featuring 24 songs spread over two CDs plus a limited-edition DVD, and a super-deluxe set featuring the 2CD/1DVD release plus “three heavy vinyl discs” and more (see tracklists below).
However, the single-disc edition — which features almost all A-sides, plus the “Singles” soundtrack cut “Birth Ritual” and unreleased outtake “Black Rain” — will only be available in the U.S. for the first week of its release as part of the video game “Guitar Hero: Warriors or Rock”; it will be released separately on Oct. 5.
Soundgarden performed for the first time in 12 years at a “secret” gig in Seattle this past April. The band is set to play a sold-out Chicago warm-up club gig on Thursday before its big coming-out party Sunday when it headlines Lollapalooza.
