formed supergroup Prophets of Rage

In May 2016, It was announced that Morello, Wilk and Commerford had formed a supergroup, Prophets of Rage , with the rappers Chuck D of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill . The band toured through 2016 and played songs by Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill. Commerford said that year that Rage Against the Machine had not split up. Morello said: “We have nothing but the greatest love and honor and respect for Zack de la Rocha […] who is working on his own music, which I’m sure will be fantastic—he’s a great artist in his own right. But where you’re going to hear Rage Against the Machine is in Prophets of Rage.” In May 2018, Wilk said a Rage Against the Machine reunion would make him happy, and that “it’s just really a matter of getting us all on the same page”. In November 2019, Chuck D and B-Real confirmed that Prophets of Rage had disbanded.
