Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has collaborated with Beartooth vocalist Caleb Shomo on a new single titled “Everything Burns“, as per blabbermouth.net. The track was produced by Tyler Smyth, known for his work with Falling In Reverse and Royal & The Serpent, and was first featured in the latest update of the “Final Fantasy XIV” video game.
‘Everything Burns’ is a high-energy, riff-heavy banger that feels like it’s rising from the streets. Collaborating with Beartooth and super producer Tyler Smyth to forge this ferocious next single from my upcoming solo album was a real thrill. – Tom Morello
Shomo stated instead:
Creating ‘Everything Burns’ was the definition of lightning in a bottle. Pressure makes diamonds. When I got a call saying ‘Tom Morello wants you to sing on a song for a huge project and it’s due in a few hours,’ I had no idea what would happen, but I gave it all I had and it turned into something that’s truly once in a lifetime. I couldn’t be more honored to be a part of this with Tom and the entire ‘Final Fantasy’ family that made this happen. Life goal achieved.
In addition to “Everything Burns,” Morello‘s forthcoming solo album will encompass the previously released song “Pretend You Remember Me” and “Soldier In The Army Of Love,” a collaboration with his son Roman.
I’m not trying to put songs in video games; I’m trying to make great songs that matter. ‘Everything Burns’ is a song that really matters at this moment in time. It’s both a warning and a call to action. – Morello to NME
In a lot of ways, it’s a song about self-empowerment. Sometimes I can be so on fire that it feels like nothing can stop me. It’s also about how it doesn’t matter who you are or how much money or power you have, you are also flammable — so be aware of the shit you’re doing to other people in this world. – Caleb Shomo
