LABEL: Epic
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 2012
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1992
VARIANT: Picture Disc Vinyl LP

As powerful as when it landed in 1992, Rage Against the Machines self-titled debut elevated rap-rock consciousness with its bombastically heavy riffscapes and poignant, politicized rhyming. Former Inside Out frontman Zack de la Rocha sharpened his tongue with society-skewering bars about police brutality, war and political corruption, while landmark classics like Killing in the Name and Bombtrack groove-bombed pits with unendingly heavy rhythms and visionary guitar damage from Tom Morello. In all senses of the word, its a revolutionary Nineties rock classic now ready to be rotated on this eye-popping picture disc release.
