Soundgarden have dropped their new video for lead single “Been Away Too Long” off next week’s King Animal. Directed by Josh Graham, the wintry clip focuses on a reclusive mental patient, trying to escape her chilly confines as she’s chased by fascist soldiers and creepy Nazi dogs. It’s equal parts 30 Days of Night, Behind Enemy Lines, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Grab your thickest jacket and run along below.
