After massive success in the late '90s with albums like Evil Empire and The Battle of Los Angeles , the band broke up in 2000.

Their 1992 self-titled debut, featuring the iconic "Killing in the Name," became a blueprint for rap-rock with a message.

Rage Against the Machine (RATM) is a legendary American rock band formed in 1991, celebrated for their explosive fusion of heavy metal, hard funk, and politically charged hip-hop. Known as a "Molotov cocktail" of genres, they utilized their platform to rail against corporate control, government oppression, and systemic injustice.

The group's trajectory is marked by high-energy activism and multiple reunions.
