Soundgarden‘s recent teasing did indeed turn out to be for an extensive rarities collection. The group have announced a 3-CD set titled “Echo Of Miles: Scattered Tracks Across The Path” is headed towards a November 24th release date. Yesterday’s stream of “Storm“—which was apparently originally written in 1986 but recorded this past May—will be included upon the set. Guitarist Kim Thayil oversaw the process of compiling the various rarities for the set, offering:
“As album sets go, this one has been fun to collect and compile over the decades. I personally may have referenced this project a number of times over the years, going back almost twenty of them to the mid-nineties!”
