The mystery has been solved; we now know the identity of Prophets of Rage.
It may not be a full-blown Rage Against the Machine reunion as some originally thought, but the new supergroup does feature three members of the hard-rock outfit: guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk. They’re joined by a pair of MCs in Chuck D of Public Enemy and Cypress Hill’s B-Real. RATM vocalist Zack de la Rocha is not involved.
According to Billboard, Prophets of Rage will make their debut at the Hollywood Palladium on June 3rd, where they will perform songs from Rage, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill. A summer tour is also being “considered,” Billboard adds.
