Following the announcement of Rage Against the Machine’s reunion, Prophets of Rage have announced their disbanding.
The supergroup, formed in 2016 consisted of Rage Against the Machine’s Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk and Tom Morello, alongside DJ Lord and Cypress Hill’s B-Real and Public Enemy’s Chuck D.
Chuck D, in a tweet that announced the end of the band, wrote that he and B-Real were merely keeping the spot warm for Rage Against the Machine’s vocalist Zach De La Rocha.
It was about doing something greater than self. 2020 keeping ZDLR spot warm for @RATM & powering a 👊🏿statement for 1000 days was a honorable truth mission in the hours of chaos from the jump… And so the bands rock on…. Let’s go @cypresshill @PublicEnemyFTP @prophetsofrage pic.twitter.com/sFqvwTxfhv
