Rolling Stone's Top 500 Albums

180 Gram Pressing!

The pairing of guitar hero Tom Morello, who played his instrument like a DJ, and political activist Zack de la Rocha who spit out his lyrics with a vengeance, may have seemed unlikely but the results were explosive to say the least. With their 1992 self-titled debut they created a fierce mix of hip-hop, punk and heavy rock that was as progressive as it was political. Features the aggressive hit singles "Killing in the Name Of" and "Bullet in the Head."

After the success of Rage Against The Machine's eponymous debut LP and follow-up 'Evil Empire´ this third album is another hard-hitting collection of songs full of political and social consciousness. With their catchy, yet raw heavy riffs and grooves they succeeded to release another album with actual hitsingles ('Guerilla Radio' and 'Testify' ). However, it proved their last album full of original material; the follow-ups contained either covers (Renegades) or live-performances. With Battle of Los Angeles, the ´triple treat´ was completed.

Rolling Stone Magazine ranked the album at no. 423 in their 500 Greatest Albums Ever list. After several musical excursions by all members, the original Rage Against The Machine line-up performed live on various occasions in 2007, but a new studio album has yet to see the light. Like the first 2 Rage Against The Machine albums, this LP is re-issued on 180 grams vinyl.

Formed in 1991, Rage Against the Machine opened the gates of a new boundary-obliterating rock-rap musical alliance with the band's literate and politically-charged debut album. Featuring band members Tim Commerford, Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk, Rage Against the Machine became a critical and commercial success, selling millions of copies around the world while attaining legendary status among alt-rock fans. To this day the album, and the band, remain standard-bearers for uncompromising incendiary rock.
