Rage Against The Machine don’t need to deliver different messages in each of their songs. The message is in their name, but some fans are never quite understood that. Amidst the social climate of the U.S. right now, Rage have re-entered the charts, even though their last music release was 20 years ago.
The band’s 1992 self-titled debut album, which peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard 200 in 1994, has made its way back onto the chart, coming in at No. 174. This may partially be due to the fact that the album houses the anthemic “Killing in the Name,” which is a song written specifically about protesting police brutality, and was written following the 1992 Los Angeles riots sparked by the beating of Rodney King.
