Tom Morello shared new music with his son, Roman, back in June. He revealed to Guitar Interactive Magazine at the UK\u2019s Download festival the same month that the guitar solo in \u2018Soldier in the Army of Love\u2019 belonged to the 13-year-old.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a shredding guitar solo on it. I wish I could say it was me,\u201d\u00a0the guitarist said. \u201cDuring lockdown, when everybody else was baking bread, [my son Roman] was putting in his eight hours a day. So, I\u2019ve been relegated to be the rhythm guitar player in the family now.\u201d<\/p>\n

He recalled, \u201cBut no, one day I was walking by his bedroom, and he was playing these awesome Drop D heavy riffs. I\u2019m, like, \u2018What is that?\u2019 And he\u2019s, like, \u2018I just came up with \u2019em.\u2019 He\u2019s, like, \u2018Dad, do you think these riffs go together?\u2019<\/p>\n

I\u2019m, like, \u2018Yeah, I think those riffs go together.\u2019 And so we did this song, \u2018Soldier in the Army of Love,\u2019 he wrote the riffs. I produced it and kind of played on it. But the guitar solo is him, as well. And so, with Father\u2019s Day around the corner, I\u2019m very, very proud to be making probably the heaviest song I\u2019ve released in some time, [and it\u2019s] with my 13-year-old.\u201d<\/p>\n

The father and son duo is currently working on a music video for their collaboration. They shared a clip from the production\u2019s behind the scenes on social media.<\/p>\n

Roman previously recorded a solo on 14-year-old Nandi Bushell\u2019s 2021 single \u2018The Children Will Rise Up,\u2019 as well. Tom Morello worked with the two child musicians again to write the track.<\/p>\n

The Rage Against The Machine guitarist\u2019s son also joined them during their 2022 tour\u2019s backstage. Roman played \u2018Killing in the Name\u2019 with Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk for soundcheck, which his father shared last year.<\/p>\n
