Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello Working On First Heavy Album Since 2006

Tom Morello, guitarist of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, has announced that he's working on a 'really big rock record'.
Morello, although still remaining musically active, hasn't worked on a heavy rock album since his time in Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. He last released a record in 2006 with Audioslave's 'Revelations' but has now announced a return to the 'huge riffs' and 'huge grooves' that first put him on the map, in the shape of a new solo album expected in 2014.
"I am working on a new solo record, but it might not be titled a Nightwatchman [his 'political folk' moniker], because this is going to be a heavy rock record. This will be the first time since Rage Against The Machine or Audioslave that I’ve made a really big rock record.
"It’s just a time to rock and I’ve written a batch of songs with huge riffs and huge grooves. I’m working it out with my band now and we’re about five songs deep at this point, but we’re taking our time with it. It will definitely be a release the hounds effort."
As mentioned, it's expected that the album won't see a release until next year, so fans will have to wait at least a few months before we hear anything new from Tom. Are you looking forward to some new Morello material? Leave us a comment in the box below.
