Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Grammy winner and multi-platinum selling-artist Tom Morello releases his latest single “Soldier in The Army of Love.” Co-produced by Zakk Cervini and Carl Restivo, the song also features Morello’s son, Roman Morello, who contributed as a co-writer. The song exclusively premiered earlier this week on The Howard Stern Show.
“Soldier in The Army of Love” is a guitar-driven track that showcases Morello’s signature sound, featuring skillful riffs and a powerful solo penned by his son Roman. Anthemic and commanding, Morello passionately declares “Who needs a weapon when you were born one?”
“’Soldier in The Army Of Love’” is the debut single from my first ever full-length solo rock album,” says Morello. “It’s a salute to the transformative power of music as both a balm to heal the soul and a battering ram to fight for justice. The song also has a generational rock n roll bloodline. The heaviest riffs were written by my 13-year-old guitar wizard son Roman, who also plays the shredding solo, giving me hope that’s there’s a new generation of soldiers in the army of love coming to the rescue.”
Morello is currently on a 21-date tour across Europe (with several select dates alongside The Smashing Pumpkins), which included several engagements earlier this month in the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Denmark and The Netherlands. The tour will continue on to make stops in major markets including in Spain, Italy, Greece and more before concluding on July 18th in Mecco, Portugal.
ABOUT TOM MORELLO:
Grammy-winning, Harvard-educated, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted artist, songwriter, and activist, Tom Morello is living proof of the transformative power of rock’n’roll. Known for his innovative guitar solos and thunderous chords, Morello is a groundbreaking artist both in his solo career and as an original member of the rock bands Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave – two acts responsible for multiple Grammy Awards and a combined 30 million albums sold worldwide. His trademark style was a crucial component of Rage Against the Machine, helping launch Morello and the band to Grammy-winning, multi-platinum success, which in turn led to his recognition by Rolling Stone Magazine as the 18th “Greatest Guitar Player of All-Time” and subsequent induction into both the Rock & Roll and Metal Hall of Fame. After not just one but two multimillion selling bands, Morello’s signature guitar can be heard in the supergroup Prophets of Rage and with his 6-year stint in Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Band.
Morello is a vocal political activist whose first solo outing was as the Nightwatchman. You can often find him on the front line of pickets and strikes across the country – most recently in solidarity with United Mine Workers of America in Brookwood, AL, the United Farm Workers of America in Sacramento, CA, and the Star Garden Strippers Union in North Hollywood, CA. He is also the 2023 Music Will Humanitarian of the Year recipient, helping to sponsor multiple music education programs across the country for schools in need and is an ACLU Artist for Smart Justice for his advocacy work. Additionally, you can catch him every week on Sirius XM as the host of his show “One Man Revolution.”
