Tom Morello preps new solo album
With Rage Against the Machine’s convention obligations now over, Tom Morello will once again focus his attention on his solo endeavors. On September 30th, the acclaim guitarist will return under The Nightwatchman pseudonym for the release of his second full-length studio album, The Fabled City. Described as more electro-friendly than 2007’s One Man Revolution, the 11-track, Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam) produced record will also feature a number of guest appearances by System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian and Shooter Jennings.
When describing The Fabled City, Morello stated “My goal was to capture the energy and emotion of The Nightwatchman live shows. There is a much more rocking quality to this record, solos and riffs, mixed with darker acoustic songs. I think my singing has come a long way as well. I had a lot of devastating losses of family and friends during the past two years and The Fabled City is a search for hope through music and confronting injustice.”
