After making an appearance at Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit this weekend, Soundgarden quietly dropped a new single last night. The track is called “Storm,” and according to Stereogum, it’s their first new song since 2012’s reunion project, King Animal.
The shrieking, anxiety-laden track arrives just in time for Halloween, with Chris Cornell drawling methodically on the disheartening opening lyrics: “The storm has weakened minds of steel.” No word yet on whether “Storm” will appear on a new Soundgarden album yet, but stream it below now.
