Black Hole Rum, the new ice cream from Soundgarden (wtf?)

Soundgarden have confirmed a new ice cream flavour called Black Hole Rum will launch on October 30.

Made by Seattle's Full Tilt Ice Cream shops, it's the latest flavour in the gelateria's Icon Series – described as "a rum ice cream with a dark fudge swirl."

The firm's owners, Justin Cline and Ann Magyar, are said to be longtime fans of the city's rock scene. They'd previously created their Mudhoney flavour in 2013 – inspired by the Seattle alt-rock band of the same name.

Soundgarden are the latest band who have announced their foray into the food and drinks market. Last week, Deftones revealed they've teamed up with San Diego brewery Belching Beaver to create their own Phantom Bride beer.
