Public Enemy, Cypress Hill and Rage Against The Machine supergroup Prophets Of Rage have released new single 'Made With Hate'. The band are currently working on their second album and will play UK live shows this summer.
"As with many songs", says Chuck D, "'Made With Hate' was formed out of a conversation amongst ourselves about the level of passion fuel it takes to create, especially when attacking something of hate".
Assuming you're following this, he goes on: "You must create the energy to hate 'hate'. To have peace you have to despise hatred with a passion for peace and attack it. You can't have hate take over anything, especially history, so you have to fuel yourself to attack in thought, word and deed with equal passion".
So that's all clear: the song was made with hate for hate, which is fine because, although you should never hate, it's OK to hate if you are hating hate. The band will play two headline shows in the UK this August. Catch them at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on 12 Aug and the Manchester Apollo on 13 Aug.
