Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire is the band's explosive 1996 follow-up, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 and earning a Grammy for Best Metal Performance for "Tire Me." The title draws from Ronald Reagan's early-1980s phrase for the Soviet Union, a deliberate provocation that set the tone for an album as politically charged as anything in the band's catalog. "Bulls on Parade" and "People of the Sun" earned additional Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock Performance. This 180-gram pressing delivers the full weight of Zack de la Rocha's vocals, Tom Morello's guitar work, and the locked-in rhythm section of Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk.
For collectors, an encapsulated copy of Evil Empire locks in a piece of 1990s rock history exactly as it left the pressing source. No handling, no storage degradation, no question of what it's been through. It's the record as it was meant to be kept.
