Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Testify by Rage Against The Machine

Today's Metal Track is Testify by Rage Against the Machine. This is the opening track off of their 1999 album The Battle of Los Angeles. The lyrics feature are quote from George Orwell's novel 1984: "Who controls the past (now), controls the future. Who control the present (now) controls the past."

The video, directed by Michael Moore, shows two aliens plotting to conquer the earth by "releasing the mutant." That mutant is the combination of Bush and Gore who seemingly have the same policies on important issues. The video demonstrates the lack of choices we have as voters. This came out during the 2000 Presidential race.
