Prophets Of Rage release first music video

Prophets Of Rage have launched their first official music video for their self-titled lead track.

The band features Rage Against The Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, along with Chuck D and DJ Lord of Public Enemy and B Real of Cypress Hill. They released their debut EP The Party’s Over last month.

The video was shot during a series of performances that saw them playing for prison inmates and political protestors, pursuing their ambition to “make America rage again.”

D said of their prison show: “We wanted to be part of a little bit of enlightenment to inmates here. Every little second of light and hope is a good thing, and that’s the true meaning of rehabilitation.”

He’d previously said that the lineup were “keeping the seat warm” for RATM frontman Zack de la Rocha in case he decided to join in. De la Rocha released solo track Digging For Windows last week.

Prophets Of Rage are currently touring the US, and plan to appear in other parts of the world in due course.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
