Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello is releasing his latest album The Atlas Underground Fire, sequel to his previous album The Atlas Underground, and it will indeed be getting hot. Being released under the record label Mom + Pop, Morello wrote the majority of the album during lockdown, overcoming the logistical challenges of recording the guitar at home, and collaborating with big names such as Chris Stapleton, Mike Posner and Damian Marley to name few. Kicking his newest release off with a classic, Tom Morello is joined by Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder in cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.” Bringing on a darker tone compared to the original, Morello, Springsteen and Vedder’s version of this AC/DC hit brings on all the reverb and echo you didn’t know you needed. Not to mention Morello’s guitar solo, which gives a new taste to the song, giving it the urgency of an ambulance on the verge of feedback. Check it out here:
Coming out October 15th, 2021, you’ll be able to listen to some more of Morello’s amazing solos on The Atlas Underground Fire, featuring artists Bring Me the Horizon, Refused’s Dennis Lyxzén, Phantogram, and the previously mentioned. Whether you’re jamming along on your headphones, blasting it in the car, or working out to it, this album combines the best of guitar with the best of rock, and you won’t be able to stop listening.
