Rage Against the Machine - Killing In the Name - Halocene Cover

[@Halocene]

We want to end racism and strive for everyone to have better lives. Supporting BLM does not mean we don't support good police or law and order. But the fact is, our system is flawed. It punishes people of color with prejudice (time and time again). So we stand for the movement to create the change needed to be fair to all skin colors. Please, don't mistake this as we don't appreciate good law enforcement. There are endless numbers of good individual cops. But the macro point of view and scope of law enforcement; including attorneys, judges, officers, sentencing, prisons, laws, etc) just are not evident of equality yet.

[@stefol0u]

Well said guys 🖤

[@californiariverside8641]

The great song about revolution against institutional racism and police brutality.

[@Halocene]

@@ukaszdankowski3975 You are bringing up a different issue all together. So NO, that's not what we mean. Affirmative action (what you're talking about) has nothing to do with police brutality. And I won't comment on that topic because it's bait. You're now lumping in "anything that has to with black people" must be black lives matter. Black lives matter is focused on ending police brutality and systemic racism with our law enforcement. Also, white people being killed in more numbers also has nothing to do with this. Because the white people that are killed by police don't have an increased chance of dying simply because they are white. Black people do. White people aren't pulled over for being white. Black people are, which lead to police brutality, and sometimes the death. So, I feel you have constructive questions, but when broken down, the answers to any of the things you brought up, still have nothing to do with the tackling the issues of racial injustice and police brutality. (Thank you for sharing your words, and also being open to dialogue and discussion and choosing to let us use our voice, even if you disagree. We hope you still can enjoy our music)

[@ukaszdankowski3975]

@@Halocene I'm not baiting you, wasn't on my mind. Is there any evidence that black ones are killed cause of their skin, but not white ones, cause they're white? In that debate I've mentioned earlier, Larry Elder is saying "police officer while dealing with black is more conservative with weapon, because he can be called racist." And last thing, why I like to call All Lives, not Black Lives If #metoo would be divided for #SpouseDidit #BossDidit #FriendDidit, for me it would be a mess and people will compare who have worse. Everyone matter. Maybe I'm wrong with what I'm saying. Time will show. Still, thanks for conversation either. Sometimes I'm trying to talk with people about that situation and dialogue is exception. So, good luck on your music journey and have a nice day.

[@wyattmilliken3320]

@@ukaszdankowski3975 Of course all lives matter, but its black lives that are in the most trouble. BLM leaders actually protest when unarmed white people are killed, unlike spineless little twats like you who only come out of your basement to minimalize issues.

Drummer is really underrated. Never see anyone talking about him.

[@TheSusBus_191]

I really love the way he tears the drums up. He's so underrated. The entire band is so original; we need more bands like this today! He really makes me want to learn how to play the drums

I can't get enough of brad's screaming! He should do an entire song with his vocals!!

"Lauren from CrazyEightyEight" -cries in red handed denial-

[@Halocene]

Dude thx!

[@jillian4068]

I get where you as a band are coming from and appreciate you! Love how you guys did this cover, and there's something about the attitude showing through here with the middle fingers that makes it even that much better for me.

[@andrewince8824]

A brilliant cover but Zach De La Rocha has the passion which makes RATM sound so good and Tom Morello's beastly guitar gives the sound that punchy punk tone. Often covered, never replicated.

[@WendelSchultz]

The double kick bass is boss. I love this cover. Listened a dozen times today.

[@vitorhoth]

this song is already liberating, there with its sensational voice it is practically a revolution in the form of cover

[@mattscott2613]

This was so much better than what I was expecting when I clicked the link. Great job from the whole band and especially Addie who brought the rage quite effectively.

[@renoufchr]

The cover ive been waiting for dont even need to listen to know its awesome

[@Halocene]

Thank you!

[@JohnLGalt_1]

I love how you all made it just a little bit more of your own song but still kept the original feel of it - great job!

[@snlarini99]

Listening to this song on repeat, I'm finding nuggets of "new vocals", very cool. I'm understanding the cryptic lyrics better now. I love it when covers make you appreciate the original so much more 💜

[@TheHandgunhero]

I was a little skeptical about the song choice, and then I heard Brad’s scream and knew today is gonna be a good day.

I just became a bigger Halocene fan! I wish you much success! God bless this talented group of young people!

I can't sing to save my life, but I will share this everywhere. You guys are really amazing!

[@uglybuckling]

This is really phenomenally good. NOT an easy song to cover. I saw the thumbnail several times and didn't click because I am a big fan of both groups (Halocene and RATM); I just couldn't see how this could work; and I didn't want to watch it if it didn't do the original justice. It worked! I was wrong. Well done y'all. Earned my subscription.

[@allnightfalling]

Like a few others I've seen in the comments, I had my doubts on how well you would pull this off but I should have known better. Every cover I've heard you do has been great and this was no exception. Of the people you challenged to join you, I have to say @Lauren Babic is the one I'm most excited to hear, but I'm sure they can all make a good showing for themselves. Again, coming form a hardcore RATM fan, great job!

[@Halocene]

Can't wait to hear what they do and who they challenge!

[@docjoules4738]

I find it kind of confusing that in the comments there are so much heated discussions about that. I mean, there is systemic inequality. AND more black and Hispanic groups live in poverty, are pulled over more often etc. I don't see how that is not a equality problem. Now I know, black households are often poor, thus their children cannot afford good education, the schools in districts with mostly poor citizen are underfunded, because in this districts there are not as much tax income, so less money for the education of poor people's children. To put it short: Poor stay poor. If you are born in a poor family, your education will not be as good as if you where born in a wealthier, albeit not rich, family. And I think that the American Dream is just that: A dream. Most will not make it form racks to riches. Just because some guys are lucky does not mean that this is a valid system

[@oshanekurukulasooriya2588]

Best cover of the song out there... the anger the feelings, the playing, the singing and everything up to the point

[@richswanson7144]

I've heard a lot of people tried doing this song and it was never that good but y'all killed this.......

[@jordanbraden4043]

I wish I could sing better *sigh* but at last I can only hope I love Holocene covers and original music they literally deserve to be a huge band like three days grace and Shinedown I hope they get there eventually please do a cover of Break by Three Days Grace. I can sing one song glory from rent😂😂

[@kylesalmons7481]

I really wish i could have been following you guys from the start. I truly will never stop listening. I have been watching all of your videos and I have no complaints about any song!

I'm a Mexican American I have family and friends in law enforcement from highway patrol to border patrol. I have seen racist people of all colors. so I don't believe white people should ever have to apologize for how GOD mad them. just my opinion

[@sai909]

The problem with your statement is that you believe God plays factor to how the person is no fault of their racism. Personally, I don't believe in God. He's not real to me. What is real and a fact is that no one is born with hate, racism, or prejudice in their hearts. That shit is taught. However, it can be unlearned. This coming from another Mexican American who has family and friends that serve for both military and they're sheriffs.
