Soundgarden: “Been Away Too Long”

Print Print this page.

Soundgarden’s King Animal marks the group’s return a full 15 years after their initial breakup and, in the video for the album cut “Been Away Too Long,” the alt-rockers rage again with neck-breaking authority. The clip’s story is intriguing, too: a young girl in a straitjacket rises from bones and runs from mysterious men and attack dogs but gets trapped in isolated, snowy buildings. She eludes capture, though she may not be human.

King Animal will be out November 13th. CHECK IT OUT!
