Soundgarden are returning to the live stage in a big way at this weekend’s Lollapalooza, but they’ve also got a new career retrospective on the way: Telephantasm will feature hits, rarities, videos, and “Black Rain,” a previously unreleased song.

The collection arrives September 28, but in an unconventional format: The single-disc, 12-song version of Telephantasm — packed with 11 of the band’s biggest hits including “Black Hole Sun,” “Spoonman,” and “Outshined,” plus “Black Rain” — will be bundled with 1 million copies of the new videogame, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, which goes onsale that day. After a week, on October 5, the single-disc version will be available at conventional retailers, by itself.

Fans who purchase the video game/album bundle will have instant access to downloadable Soundgarden content for Guitar Hero.

As for “Black Rain,” it’s an outtake from the sessions for 1991’s Badmotorfinger, and singer Chris Cornell recently recorded some new vocals that were mixed into the original song. “What’s amazing,” producer-engineer Adam Kasper tells SPIN, “is Chris recorded new vocal bits, and his voice still hits all those notes. You can’t tell which vocals are from 20 years ago and which are from today.”

For the non-gamers, two deluxe versions of Telephantasm will hit stores on September 28: A three-disc, CD/DVD combo that includes two albums of hits, b-sides, and rarities, plus a DVD with every Soundgarden music video, including some rare edits and foreign versions; and a “super deluxe edition” that bundles the CD/DVD combo with three discs of heavy vinyl and special collector’s packaging.
