TEMPLE OF THE DOG‘s lone LP will be re-released on September 30th in several editions, most notably a super-deluxe package containing previously unreleased demos, alternate takes, live cuts and concert video.
Right now you can preview the reissues with ‘Black Cat,’ a demo of a song that didn’t make Temple of the Dog, which has never seen official release until now.
“Black cat, black cat’s gone,” Chris Cornell howls on the track. “Gone for good, gone for long/Don’t believe I made it home/And I hope he don’t come home.”

The Seattle supergroup – which also features PEARL JAM members Jeff Ament, Mike McCready and Stone Gossard – came together in 1990 to honor late MOTHER LOVE BONE frontman Andrew Wood, who died of a heroin overdose earlier that year.
Early on in the process, Eddie Vedder teamed up with Ament, McCready and Gossard to form PEARL JAM. The singer guested on a handful of TEMPLE OF THE DOG songs, most notably ‘Hunger Strike.’
TEMPLE OF THE DOG have reunited at a handful of PEARL JAM shows over the years, but this fall they’re launching their first tour.
