Rage Against The Machine Frontman Zack De La Rocha Finishes Solo Album

posted Sep 18, 2007 at 10:29 PM by deathbringer.  (15 Comments)

Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha has completed his debut solo album, which was seven years in the making.

De La Rocha collaborated closely with The Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, and Billboard.com quotes a source that says it sounds like "Led Zeppelin meets Dr. Dre." Since leaving Rage Against The Machine in 2000, De La Rocha has work with several artists including DJ Shadow and Trent Reznor, but it is not yet known if these artists will feature on the album.

The report also reveals that some of the album was recorded at an eco-friendly studio in Los Angeles, owned by Jack Johnson.

Since De La Rocha is currently unsigned and a release date is unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, reunited Rage Against The Machine play the following shows this fall:

New Orleans, LA City Park (Voodoo Music Experience) (October 27)
Las Vegas, NV Sam Boyd Stadium (Vegoose Festival) (October 28)

If I had actually known he was going to do this 7 years ago I would have probably died by now, but I didn't, so this is a pleasant surprise. I'll be interested to hear some stuff from this.

Loved RATM but always thought De La Rocha was a dumbass. Can't wait to hear the album but wouldn't be surprised if this album took the G'N'R road and didn't come out for a long time seeing as how Zack doesn't get along with anyone.
