ZACK DE LA ROCHA's ONE DAY AS A LION: First Track Posted Online
- July 16, 2008
|
|
ONE DAY AS A LION, the project featuring Zack De La Rocha (vocalist for RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) and Jon Theodore (former drummer of THE MARS VOLTA), has posted the track "Wild International" on its MySpace page. The song comes off the group's eponymous debut EP, which is scheduled for release on July 22 via Anti Records. ONE DAY AS A LION's sound is described in a press release as "a defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It's a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. According to the band, ONE DAY AS A LION's name was "taken from the infamous 1970 black-and-white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez, featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: 'It's better to live one day as a lion than a thousand years as a lamb.' This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound." "One Day As A Lion" was recorded by Robert Carranza at Ocean Way Recording and was mixed by Mario C at MCJ Studio. The track listing for the CD is as follows: 01. Wild International02. Ocean View03. Last Letter04. If You Fear Dying05. One Day As A Lion

That song just blows. As a huge fan of the first RATM album, everything was just shit after that, and this song is no exception.

RATM is one of my favorite all-time bands. This is a notch below RATM for sure but is about 100 notches above that Audioslave crap. I admit while listening to this I sort of waited for the good part to kick in, but nonetheless it wasn't half bad. Not sure if I'll pick up this EP.

So this is the third solo track he's released online since 03.
It sound a little like RATM of course.
At a guess I would say they are jamming stuff during the tour.
Hopefully they will record a new album and release it for the wolf in sheeps clothing Obama taking over from the neo communist bush.

who wrote the music? it really is just boring. drums kinda nice and the vocals are yknow zach vocals but the hooks arent there and he's not yelling so its not even a little exciting.
it just sounds like a less interesting public enemy.
it actually sounds a lot like those dj spooky remixes of public enemy - but those at least had dave lombardo on drums. does anyone know what im talking about here?
increase the tempo, find SOME sort of melody, and maybe we'll talk then. this was rather boring and unremarkable, not real memorable at all
oh and naming your band after a benito mussolini phrase? whats with that?
sorry if im being too negative, but i kind of expected a lot more.

I thought it was great. I'm soooo glad Zack is still around kicking his stuff out there. Can't understand why people would post negative vibes about Zack, or his music, must not have a clue?

I just downloaded the ep to my pod so I will give it all a listen, but the first track, the one on radio, is good stuff..perhaps a bit too "techno" for my taste (more guitars Please!) however I love Zack's style and his voice..go Zack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
