Italian rockers MÅNESKIN have released their new single "Gossip" featuring a guest appearance by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello. Watch the video for it here.
Fierce with a rapid, infectious and hammering guitar hook, MÅNESKIN's latest offering continues to reaffirm the group's status as a genuine force in rock and roll. The single is taken from MÅNESKIN's upcoming album "Rush!", which is set for release on January 20.
Regarding their collaboration with Morello, MÅNESKIN's Damiano David said: "Tom Morello's enormous experience allowed us to take cues on how to work on tracks without overthinking. We can't thank him enough for joining us on this track. It's an honor for the whole band!" Ethan Torchio added: "Tom Morello brought some RAGE to MÅNESKIN!" Thomas Raggi said: "Tom is one of the greatest musicians that I've always listened to and learned from. Playing with him is a dream come true. It's an enormous gift and a personal highlight of this incredible year." Victoria De Angelis commented: "The song originated from a riff which Thomas had written some time ago and which we had been holding onto for a long time which we kept developing. Then the icon Tom Morello joined and brought something extra to the classic uptempo MÅNESKIN cheerfulness."
