SLAVES AGAINST THE MACHINE

In 2009, singer Michael Tadeo from Philippines & guitarist Masa Iga from Japan, travelled to Los Angeles for the same reason. Musical mission! From there, they found each other and gathered more musicians to join the force, and recreate the powerful sounds of RATM, also known as Rage Against the Machine.

Rage Against the Machine is noted for its innovative blend of alternative rock, punk rock, rap, heavy metal and funk as well as its revolutionary politics and lyrics. Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early heavy metal instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Public Enemy, Urban Dance Squad, and Afrika Bambaataa. The group's music is distinguished primarily by their powerful stage energy, vocalist's rhyming styles and guitarist's unorthodox guitar techniques.
