Released in 1996, Evil Empire arrived at a moment when Rage were becoming one of the most politically charged and sonically ferocious bands on the planet, bridging hardcore punk, hip-hop, and heavy metal in ways that still feel unresolved and urgent. Tom Morello’s guitar work here pushed even further into uncharted territory, conjuring sounds that had no business coming from a six-string.

Produced by Rage Against the Machine and Brendan O’Brien, the 11 songs on Evil Empire were written by the band and recorded in Los Angeles. First single/video: “Bulls on Parade.” Other tracks include “Vietnow,” “Revolver,” “Snake charmer,” “Year of Tha Boomerang” and more. Touring in the U.S. and Europe is anticipated in the Spring, with U.S. dates to begin in June.
