JAKARTA - Tom Morello is known to be working on a new album for his solo project. Different from working on the band's joint album, the 60-year-old guitarist said 'purity' would be more visible in his solo album.

Reflecting on his musical journey as a band player and soloist, the Rage Against The Machine guitarist explained how different the difference was when working on the album alone and with his bandmates.

"I've done a number of solo recordings before, but I love the idea of being in a band because what you get from being in a band is chemistry," Tom Morello said during a recent interview with NME.

"Together, you create something that no one can create from you alone," Morello continued.

What you get from being a soloist is the purity and ability to create something that others cannot create.

Talking about the upcoming album, Morello said the album was the first rock and roll recording to list his name.

"I'm just letting music lead and the songs I wrote with Roman Morello (his 13-year-old son), like heavy rock songs," he said.

"It's time for me to make this album."

For information, Tom Morello released his first solo album entitled The Atlas Underground' in 2018, then followed by The Atlas Underground Fire and The Atlas Underground Flood in 2021.

Tom's last solo album involved several well-known musicians, such as Bruce Springsteen, Bring Me the Horizon, IDLES, and Steve Aoki.
