The rock band made up of vocalist Zack de la Rocha, bassist Tim Commerford, guitarist Tom Morello, and drummer Brad Wilk formed in 1991.

Known for writing songs with strong political views, the band went on to release several hit albums from their triple platinum eponymous debut album in 1992, to Renegades, which they released in 2000 before disbanding later in the year.

After the band’s break-up, Zack pursued a solo career, while the rest of the band members formed Audioslave with Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell. At the same time, they also worked on solo projects.
