Black Sabbath drummer hints that Rage Against the Machine are recording



Black Sabbath drummer Geezer Butler may have accidentally revealed that Rage Against the Machine are working on a new album.

The band haven't released an album in thirteen years, and frontman Tom Morello recently told Billboard that they had "no plans" to record a fifth album.

However, in an interview with Metal Insider, Butler said that Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk may not be able to tour with Sabbath, as he could have other commitments.

Black Sabbath have currently been recording with both Wilk and Tommy Clufetos. When asked which drummer would be going on the road with them, Butler responded, "We're not sure yet [which drummer we will use].

He continued, "We don't know because I think Brad's got commitments with Rage Against the Machine ... It'll probably be either Tommy or Brad, depending on their commitment."

However, Wilk doesn't have any touring commitments with Rage Against the Machine, as the band don't currently have any scheduled tour dates - leading fans to speculate that they could be recording.



Rage haven't played live since November 2011 and Morello told Rolling Stone that they have no plans to do so again.

He said, "I consider them brothers and brothers-in-arms, and whether or not we ever play music again in any capacity is unknown. There's no plans, no current direction of anything."
