Prophets Of Rage have announced their split.
Members B-Real and Chuck D broke the news with statements issued to their own social media accounts, revealing that the side project was to disband amid Rage Against The Machine reunion plans.
The supergroup, which featured members of Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill, got together in 2016 and released 'The Party's Over' EP the same year, with a self-titled LP following in 2017.
B-Real, also of Cyprus Hill fame, wrote on Instagram:
"It’s been an honour to rock stages and people of all ages with these guys. It’s been a great time and great memories in a short time. Rockin' along side of Chuck and Tom has been amazing to say the least. It was fun while it lasted and I hope we left a big impression and that the music has been a source of inspiration for those that needed it. That was the purpose we got together. So I say to y'all stay informed, stay engaged and fight the good fight."
"It was about doing something greater than self. Keeping ZDLR [Zack de la Rocha]'s spot warm for [him] and powering a statement for 1,000 days was a honourable truth mission in the hours of chaos from the jump. And so the bands rock on... Let’s go."
