Undercover News is reporting that the Chris
Cornell / Rage Against the Machine project has a new official name. Civilian,
the original name floated around for the group will no longer apply. The
band that features former Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell and former
Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk
have dubbed themselves Audioslave.
The project has had its ups and down since
Cornell teamed with the former RATM members. Last March, after spending
months in the studio recording music together the band split up, literally
hours after it was announced they were going to be a mainstage act on this
years Ozzfest. The official reason for the split was that management from
the two camps didnt see eye to eye. Some more cynical people speculated
that it was because they didnt want to go on the Ozzfest.
That is all history now as the band has
reformed with a unified manager working for all of the members. Most of
the original recordings from the new group, produced by Rick Rubin have
made their way onto the net and the band is reportedly working on more
material for their debut album that are expected to be released by Epic
early next year.
