Rage Against the Machine (sometimes abbreviated RATM or Rage) is an American rap metal band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989.

The band's continual members are rapper Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk.

Rage Against the Machine is noted for its blend of rap, heavy metal, and funk as well as its revolutionary politics and lyrics.

Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early metal instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Public Enemy, Urban Dance Squad,and Afrika Bambaataa.

The group's music is distinguished primarily by de la Rocha's rhyming styles and powerful stage energy, and Morello's unorthodox guitar techniques.
