Killing In The Name – Rage Against The Machine (Sheet Music)

Rage Against the Machine (also known as RATM) is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1991. They draw inspiration from early heavy metal instrumentation, as well as hip hop acts. Rage Against the Machine is well known for the members’ leftist and revolutionary political views, which are expressed in many of the band’s songs.

In 2000, growing tensions over the direction of the band prompted vocalist de la Rocha to quit, leading to the band’s breakup. De la Rocha started a low-key solo career, while the rest of the band formed the rock supergroup Audioslave with Chris Cornell, then-former frontman of Soundgarden. As of 2010, they had sold over 16 million records worldwide.
