Founded in 1991 in Los Angeles, Rage Against the Machine fused metal, rap, and funk with raw political and social anger. Driven by Zack de la Rocha’s fierce vocals and Tom Morello’s cutting-edge riffs, the band quickly became the voice of a generation in revolt.

With songs like Killing in the Name, Bulls on Parade, and Guerrilla Radio, RATM condemned oppression, systemic racism, and unchecked capitalism over explosive, uncompromising music. Their minimalist aesthetic — from their bold logo to their typographic visuals — amplified their defiant message.

After several breakups and reunions, the group remains an essential symbol of musical resistance, continuing to inspire new generations of politically conscious artists.
