“Anti-establishment music.” What’re the first things that come to mind? Rap and punk. Okay, so mathcore isn’t ‘punk,’ but there’s still that rebellious nature of any ‘core’ music. So this cover/collaboration between The Dillinger Escape Plan and Chuck D of Public Enemy is, while at first head-scratching, totally plausible.

No, not even plausible – it’s pretty freaking sweet. This “cover” (can a band member cover his own material?) of “Fight The Power”, the classic, career-defining Public Enemy song, was initially presented for free downloading as part of the soundtrack to the PC game Homefront: Resistance. Those downloads have been discontinued, but thanks to DEP guitarist Ben Weinman’s Facebook post (via The1stFive), you can hear it for yourself. If the original version wasn’t a song for resistance, it damn sure is now (it totally was then, too). Check it out below.

You can also check both bands out live over the next few moths. The Dillinger boys will embark on a massive North American tour supporting Deftones. Meanwhile, Chuck D and his Public Enemy compatriots will hit up Vanderbilt U.’s Rites of Spring festival and England’s Bestival 2011. Complete concert information follows.
