Zach de la Rocha (Rage Against the Machine) completes solo album

Zach De La Rocha, frontman of Rage Against the Machine has reportedly completed his long–awaited solo album. Rumblings about the outing first began shortly after the demise of Rage, but other than a few songs including a collaboration with DJ Shadow titled "March of Death" that dropped in 2003, little has been heard.

It turns out that like his bandmate Tom Morello, Zach's solo project has wrapped up work on a record which also features contributions from Jon Theodore of Mars Volta. Sources familiar with the album say it features De La Rocha playing keyboards and that the sound is a hybrid of "Led Zeppelin and Dr. Dre. Some of it has the power you'd expect from him in Rage."

Zach is currently unsigned and looking at how to distribute the record now.
