Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has taken the lid off of his forthcoming self-described first-ever rock solo album, “Everyone Gets Everything They Want“. The Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer will be dropping that new record, on September 25th via Mom + Pop Music.
The track “Date Night” is the fifth single to meet a release from that outing, and it drew lyrical inspiration from some historical figures. Morello‘ proverbial muses for this track were Freddie Oversteegen, Truus Oversteegen, and Hannie Schaft, a trio of teenage women who lured German officers and Nazis to their death through seduction, while also committing various acts of sabotage and more. They were allied with the Dutch resistance amid the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands during World War II.
Morello once again enlisted the talents of his teenage son Roman Morello on this latest track, which he had the following to say of:
“I make anti-racist songs for anti-racists, I make anti-fascist songs for anti-fascists. And I make anti-Nazi songs for anti-Nazis. ‘Date Night’ is really a ‘which side are you on?’ song. If any of that offends you, do the math. Oh, and Roman Morello wrote the killer riff in this tune.”
Various tracks from this effort have already emerged, including his pairing with his longtime friend and fellow activist, System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian on “Adjourn It“, and his ‘Final Fantasy XIV‘ track “Everything Burns“, which saw him joined by Beartooth vocalist Caleb Shomo.
Guest appearances aren’t limited to the latter though, as members of Irish rap outfit Kneecap, whom Morello previously called, “the Rage Against The Machine of now“, appear on the featured track “Unconquered“.
