Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello To Receive “Spirit Of John Brown Freedom Award”

Posted by caemanamelio on

According to Billboard, Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) will be presented with the “Spirit of John Brown Freedom Award” during a ceremony at the John Brown Farm State Historic Site in Essex County, NY on May 14. Choreographer Tiffany Rea-Fisher and visual artist Karen Davidson Seward will also be receiving the honor.

Martha Swan, the executive director of the historic site’s friends group, commented:

“The Spirit of John Brown Freedom Award was created by the freedom education and human rights project John Brown Lives! to honor individuals and organizations whose work invokes the passion and commitment of the 19th-century abolitionist who dedicated his life to the cause of liberation and full human equality.”

She also added the following about Morello:

“[He’s] a troubadour and political activist who deploys his art and energy on behalf of freedom fighters everywhere, from striking nurses and teachers, to domestic workers and Black Lives Matter organizers, to veterans against war — he extends his solidarity to every impulse toward peace and justice.”

Watch Trailer For New Netflix Movie “Metal Lords”

A new trailer has been released for the new Netflix movie “Metal Lords,” which is set to debut on April 8. The coming-of-age metal comedy was written by D.B. Weiss, who produced the film alongside Greg Shapiro. Weiss’ fellow “Game Of Thrones” showrunner David Benioff and Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello also served as executive producers on the film. The movie was directed by Peter Sollett (“Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist”) and it stars Jaeden Martell (“Knives Out”, “It”), Isis Hainsworth (“Misbehaviour”, “Emma”), and Adrian Greensmith.

Morello told Billboard the following:

“I grew up in a small, cloistered, conservative suburb where my musical tastes ran against the grain of almost everybody else in school and certainly all of the teachers, so this is something I can very much relate to. It’s a story of kids trying to get their first band together and having a dream, but perhaps not having the technical ability or the artistic vision to make that dream real. Or do they?

For me, it harmonizes in a lot of ways with the real story of so many kids who are locked in these suburban hells and the key to get out is an electric guitar or drums or rock and roll music. The music shows a way to transcend this stifled daily existence, to try to be something better, be something more authentic and true than what’s handed to you by your surroundings.”

Morello commented:

“‘The Atlas Underground Flood’ finishes what ‘The Atlas Underground Fire’ started. ‘Fire and Flood’ are my ‘London Calling.’ Admiring The Clash at their apex moment, I sought to make a double album where artistic intent supersedes genre. I aimed to forge a central curated vision to tie together a sonically fearless, wild, and wide-ranging musical ambition with a tremendous cast of collaborators. And of course, there are many guitar solos.”

Three tracks from the record, “Human” (feat. Barns Courtney), “Raising Hell” (feat. Ben Harper), and “Hard Times” (feat. Nathaniel Rateliff, Jim Jones, and Chipotle Joe), can be found below:
