Commerford expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that it has significantly influenced him and he feels fortunate to work with talented musicians like Wakrat and Polonsky. The band has also been recording music over the past few years and looks forward to performing live, following months of preparation.
In related news, Commerford's comments on the status of Rage Against the Machine have sparked intrigue. Earlier this year, he mentioned uncertainty surrounding the band's future after drummer Brad Wilk suggested they may have disbanded. Commerford remarked, "I’m the bass player; I just wait for someone to tell me what to do." Rage Against the Machine had postponed their North American tour in early 2023 due to lead vocalist Zack de la Rocha's injury.
