Zack De La Rocha started his carrier in the 80th in a hardcore punk band, but later switched his talents to rapping in one of the best bands of the 90th – Rage Against The Machine.
The music of RATM was truly revolutionary, hip-hop and fink styled drums and bass lines, incredible guitar influenced by classic rock but with interesting distorted sounds and experiments, and of course the rapping of Zack on top of it. But it was not only great music that made this band famous, it was also a great political message and activism that was inherited from hardcore music. Unfortunately RATM disbanded in 2001.
Zack went on hiatus and released only a few tracks in the last seven years, bet in 2007 RATM reformed and is now crashing the stages again. Nothing known about their new album, but Zack recently released an EP together with the drummer of The Mars Volta under the name One Day As A Lion. Strictly drums, keyboards and political rapping. It was worth to wait seven years for it.
