• New Movie from Tom Morello, ‘Metal Lords’, Coming to Netflix

  Weeks after Dave Grohl released a thrash banger for his ‘Studio 666’ horror movie, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has tried his hand at the genre with the original song Machinery of Torment for his upcoming Netflix original movie ‘Metal Lords’.
  The song was written by Tom, who serves as the movie’s executive music producer, and performed by the fictional band Skullflower from the movie.
  Morello describes the movie as a story of kids trying to get their first band together and having a dream, but perhaps not having the technical ability or the artistic vision to make that dream real. ‘Metal Lords’ hits Netflix April 8th.

I went on stage, and I couldn’t even remember the words and I was spinning. it was just awful. Gary was none too happy with me.”
