Tom Morello and Bring Me The Horizon have joined forces on “Let’s Get The Party Started.” The track is the latest single from Morello’s upcoming album, The Atlas Underground Fire, out Oct. 15.
The track is the third release from the album, following the Phantogram-featured “Driving To Texas” and Morello’s collab with Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder on a cover of AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell.”

Now, Morello, the co-founder of Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave and Prophets Of Rage, has teamed up with another musical figurehead, Bring Me The Horizon, to unleash their collective rage in “Let’s Get The Party Started.”
“Bring Me The Horizon is really the current standard-bearer of hard rock/metal today, and thank God for them for that,” Morello says in a press release. “I had a couple of huge riffs, and we just started mashing it up with Zakk Cervini, who has worked with them before. This song was written on three continents—Oli was in Brazil, Jordan was in England and then I was here in L.A. It was a real United Nations of metal coming together to produce this song, which really feels to me like it captures the angst and the frustration of the pandemic boiling over into an all-time mosh pit.
“This song also has one of my favorite guitar solos that I’ve played in quite a while, as I was really digging deep to make a solo as devastating as the track,” he continues.

“Let’s Get The Party Started” lyrics:
If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand fucking times
The voices in my head keep telling me I’m doing fine
I say it with a straight face that it’s just another line
But it’s more than that
‘Cause there’s no way back
Here I go I’m trippin’ where have I been
I got a feelin’ like i’m slippin’, I’m on my knees
Just wanna run, will I ever, ever be free
It’s now or never
It’s time to sink or swim
‘Cause I’m going off the deep end
Yeah I’m drowning inside
And it doesn’t feel important if I’m dead or alive
Feeling fifty shades of fucked up
Going out of my mind
I don’t wanna face my demons
So let’s get the party started
God damn this’ll make me sick
Fuck my life ‘cos I’m done with it
Can’t fix me ‘cos you don’t know shit
Better be scarred than to not have lived
I’m so happy I could die right now
I’m so happy I could die right now, yeah
I’m so happy I could die right now
Someone fucking kill me
I’m so happy I could die right now
I’m so happy I could die right now
I’m so happy I could die right now
Will someone fucking kill me?
Get the party started
Get the party started
‘Cause I’m going off the deep end
And I’m drowning inside
And it doesn’t seem important if I’m dead or I’m alive
Feeling fifty shades of fucked up
Going out of my mind
I don’t wanna face my demons
So let’s get the party started
