What a band, what a night!  Last night Prophets of Rage celebrated the release of their debut album at the Apollo Theater.  The self-titled disc will be unleashed on Friday.  The video above is the band’s official video for Radical Eyes directed & edited by D.J. Sing.  Before the pictures I snapped, take a peek at this setlist of doom chock full o RATM, PE, and Cypress faves and an Audioslave track (Like A Slave) to boot!  The new material sounded great but it was more a night to celebrate the legacies of Tom Morello, Tim Commerford , Brad Wilk, DJ Lord, Chuck D, and B-Real than to go deep on the fresh disc.
