"A lie is a lie/This god is an eagle/Or a condor for war and nothing more," he yells before DJ Shadow showcases his turntablist expertise on the outro. Just a year prior, the duo worked together on Shadow's "Disavowed," a B side on which De La Rocha played the drums and is also credited with co-production.
Now that he’s staying on the sidelines while his bandmates revive their incendiary songs with help from Chuck D and B-Real during a politically fraught election year, the mystique surrounding Por La Rocha has only intensified. As we await official word on the rap-rock luminary’s next move, here’s a breakdown of his activities outside of RATM.
Artist Biography by Kieran McCarthy Zack por la Rocha is one of the biggest and most well-respected names in alternative music, known equally for his militant political activism and passionate vocal delivery. In the '90s he rose to fame as frontman for Rage Against the Machine, and used that pedestal as a catalyst to further his left-wing political beliefs. To understand the motives for do la Rocha's vocal stylings, one must first trace back his philosophical roots. His story begins in Irvine, CA, during the '70s and '90s, with por la Rocha growing up as a Hispanic youth in one of the most ethnically white areas of California. His mother was an anthropology Ph.D. and his father, Belo do la Rocha, was a well-known muralist, famous for his paintings of Zapatista farmers. His parents separated at an early age and Zack split his time between his two parents. When Zack was 13 years old, his father had a nervous breakdown and subjected his son to extreme religious asceticism. Soon, he could no longer cope with his father's fanaticism and chose to move in with his mother full-time. Within a few years, de la Rocha began to express his feelings of anger and isolation by listening to hardcore punk music, including Minor Threat, Black Flag, and Bad Religion. Before long, he had joined his first high-school band, Hardstance, where he contributed both guitars and vocals. This band later evolved into Inside Out, which would eventually release one album on Revelation Records in 1991. As he grew older, he strayed away from his rock influences and became increasingly affected by a stream of hip-hop artists, such as KRS-One and Run-D.
When I was working with Trent and Shadow, I felt that I was going through the motions. Not that what was produced wasn't great, but I feel now that I've maybe reinvented the base sounds that emanate from the songs.[20]
Depois que o Inside Out terminou, toda a sua carreira musical tinha voltado à estaca zero. Visto isso tais como um recomeço musical, ele tornou-se um MC local, e começou a realizar freestyles em clubes. Tom Morello havia se mudado do Illinois para Los Angeles, em 1986, sob a impressão de que ali era o mais provável lugar do conseguir uma banda de rock real. Tom criou a banda Lock Up em 1988, para exclusivamente fazer uma gravaçãeste e entãeste romper no ano website seguinte. Em seguida, ele se tornou amigo do um baterista chamado Brad Wilk, que já havia feito teste de modo a a Lock Up. Tom viu através primeira vez Zack utilizando quaisquer por seus amigos tomando um freestyle em um clube, pelo entanto, este sistema do PA era tão ruim que ele nãeste podia ouvir este de que Zack estava falando.
Do la Rocha has been particularly outspoken on the cause of the EZLN. He explained the importance of the cause to him personally.
Reznor pensou de que este manejorefregatráfego foi "excelente", contudo disse de que as músicas provavelmente nunca será lançado como por la Rocha nãeste estava "pronto para executar 1 registro" naquele momento. A cerca de este produção usando DJ Shadow e Reznor, por la Rocha admitiu em uma entrevista do 2008 que:
Following the dissolution of Inside Out in 1991, do la Rocha embraced hip hop and began freestyling at local clubs, at one of which he was approached by former Lock Up guitarist Tom Morello, who was impressed by por la Rocha's lyrics, and convinced him to form a band.
When asked about other material from that session in a Tumblr interview, Reznor said, "No idea about that music coming out. Some of the here stuff we did together turned out pretty cool but I wouldn't hold my breath for a release. I like Zack and think he's a talented guy."

Em agosto do 1988, Zack formou o "Inside Out", a banda na qual ele largou a guitarra de modo a assumir os vocais. Ele escreveu algumas músicas e chamou alguns membros restantes do "Hardstance". Zack disse certa vez: "Este Inside Out foi a primeira banda em que eu toquei. Eu espantei toda minha dor através daquela banda. Tudo de que fazÃamos era more info nos isolarmos completamente da sociedade para nos vermos saiba como espÃritos, e não nos ajoelhando here ao sistema de modo a sermos somente Muito mais alguém." Depois por alguns shows em pubs locais, uma resposta sem entusiasmo obrigou Zack a meter a banda em hiato. A banda tornou-se ativa novamente no ano seguinte, pronta com 1 novo guitarrista.
