Legendary musician Tom Morello – co-founder of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave and Prophets of Rage – is set to release the most ambitious artistic effort of his storied career yet. His brand new album, ‘The Atlas Underground’, will be released on 12 October through BMG Records. The record is available for pre-order now HERE
Two of the album tracks, ‘We Don’t Need You’ ft. Vic Mensa & ‘Battle Sirens’ ft. Knife Party, are available to download and listen to now. In addition, part one of Lars Ulrich’s two-part ‘It’s Electric’ episode with Morello aired today on Beats 1 on Apple Music, following Zane Lowe’s premiere of ‘We Don’t Need You’. The second half of the interview will air on Sunday, 5 August at 11pm BST.
Throughout his remarkable career, Morello has collaborated with everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Johnny Cash. On ‘The Atlas Underground’, he paves a path into new sonic territory with the project’s breadth of talented collaborators – Marcus Mumford, Portugal. The Man, Bassnectar, the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and GZA, Vic Mensa, K.Flay, Big Boi, Gary Clark Jr., Pretty Lights, Killer Mike, Steve Aoki and Whethan among others – transforming his sound into something even he could not have anticipated, blending Marshall stack riff-rock with the digital wizardry of EDM and hip-hop. Morello served as chief curator for the record, hand-picking and personally reaching out to the involved artists to recruit their efforts to the project. A full track listing is below.
