    Zack De La Rocha Reveals New Project

    A collaboration with a former Mars Volta member


    The endless wait for Zack De La Rocha's solo album will finally come to a pseudo halt on July 22 with the release of One Day As a Lion's debut EP. A collaboration between De La Rocha and ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, the duo has completed five songs for their self-titled disc. None of which feature DJ Shadow, Trent Reznor, or ?uestlove of The Roots—artists that have been tied to De La Rocha's long-rumored solo recordings.

    "It's a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask," the group explained in a statement.

    In other De La Rocha news, Rage Against the Machine has seven festival dates lined up for this summer, including an appearance at Lollapalooza on August 2.

    One Day As a Lion:

    1. Wild International
    2. Ocean View
    3. Last Letter
    4. If You Fear Dying
    5. One Day As a Lion
