Temple of the Dag "Temple of the Dog"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, A&M Records, US, 2016, B0025650-01, Remastered, Reissue

Released on April 16, 1991, Temple of the Dog's self-titled debut stands as one of the most powerful, emotionally raw artifacts of the alternative rock era. Born out of profound grief following the fatal heroin overdose of Mother Love Bone frontman Andrew Wood, Soundgarden's Chris Cornell teamed up with Wood's former bandmates Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament. Recruiting a young, pre-fame Eddie Vedder and guitarist Mike McCready, this one-off collective captured lightning in a bottle, acting as the definitive bridge between the theatrical glam-grunge of the late '80s and the hard-rocking seriousness that would define the 1990s Seattle sound.
