Description

Evil Empire is the second full length release from US Political Hardcore/Metal group Rage Against The Machine. Like the bands first full-length effort, all the major elements are there. Zack De La Rocha's insightful vocals, Tom Morello's legendary guitar work, Brad Wilk's pounding work on the drums and Simmering T's brilliant basslines. The rapcore sound which eminates from this album is what makes it stand out from the previous but it carries the message loud and clear and still retains the RATM trademark tune.

Press Reviews

...Even if it's not always clear just what de la Rocha is so upset about, the power and the fury of the music comes through louder than bombs." - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (4/19/96, p.77)

3 stars out of 5 - "...Tilts at the standard windmills of global capitalism, racism, homophobia and what have you, sounding like an adrenalised hybrid of Jello Biafra, Crass and Motorhead... Q (11/00, p.130)

3 Stars (out of 5) - "...inflammatory blend of roaring guitars, barked raps and political activism... Rolling Stone (4/18/96, p.67)

Ranked #7 on Spin's list of the "20 Best Albums of '96. Spin (1/97, p.58)

8 (out of 10) - "...a redefined post-Sab groove that, to use a term that seems almost to have gone out of favor...rocks. Spin (5/96, p.103)

...the siren howls and DJ-type scratches guitarist Tom Morello grinds on his ax would make the Bomb Squad jealous. Vibe (6/96, p.143)
