Rage Against the Machine Have Launched a Countdown — But to What?
Something is afoot in the Rage Against the Machine camp.
The rap-metal pioneers have launched a new website, prophetsofrage.com. Currently, the site is counting down to June 1. The countdown clock, you will note via the below image, also features the hashtag #TAKETHEPOWERBACK, which, duh, is the title of one of the songs from RATM’s 1992 eponymous debut.
Meanwhile, posters have begun to spring up featuring the same image and slogan.
Has anyone seen these mysterious posters appearing around Los Angeles? #TakeThePowerBack https://t.co/UhG07gziJz pic.twitter.com/UomEzhRR5u

Interestingly, “Prophets of Rage” is a also the name of a song from Public Enemy’s 1988 album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, leading to some speculation that there could be a RATM/PE tour brewing.
