It was the album that started a musical revolution, and now, in a world exclusive interview, we talk to the band that made it happen. This month in Metal Hammer we celebrate 25 years of Rage Against The Machine, talking to the band (and producer Garth Richardson) about their game-changing debut, the chaotic 12 months that followed and the true story behind one of the most important (and controversial) eras in metal history. Plus, we find out why, with Prophets Of Rage, the battle continues.
