Morello has mastered "We Are The 99%" at Bernie Grundman Mastering with mastering engineer Paul Grundman.
Morello and Tim McIlrath of
Rise Against the Machine, and
Serj Tankian of
System of a Down released the new song celebrating the recent one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street . "We Are The 99%" was produced by Tom
Morello and written by Morello, Tim McIlrath and Anne Preven. It is now available for free download at https://www.Facebook.com/TomMorello.
Tom
Morello commented, "'We Are The 99%' is a song inspired by the global Occupy movement. I wanted to capture the excitement and energy of people fighting for change and make sure the song was free to anyone who wants it. Tim McIlrath and
Serj Tankian lent their amazing talents to the song and we incorporated chants from the original Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti Park as well. It's my hope that songs like this will provide a rocking soundtrack for those who have a vision of a more just planet and strengthen their resolve to fight on."
In 2002 Tom
Morello and
Serj Tankian of
System of A Down formed Axis of Justice. The organization's purpose is to bring together musicians, music fans, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice.
"Ryan Williams was very generous with his time mixing the song at such short notice," added Morello. "A number of my albums have been mastered here at Bernie's in the past, and his son Paul did a great job mastering this song for a great cause. I am very appreciative of everyone who pitched in."
