Mellowing with age is not in the cards for the notoriously impassioned members of Prophets Of Rage. Their new single "Radical Eyes" is hard proof:

The band's new song takes the gloves off on stereotypes created by the Western world. Co-frontmen Chuck D and B-Real, from Public Enemy and Cypress Hill respectively, rally the message with emphatic and clever lyrics. Of course, Prophets also features Rage Against The Machine members Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford, who are no strangers to the frontlines of political and social commentary.
"The Western world has created biased structures and stereotypes," Chuck D said in a statement. "Opposing viewpoints and movements are seen as radical rather than diversity. 'Radical Eyes' is the lens everything is viewed through, any life movement in opposition is considered radicalized."
"Radical Eyes" is the third song to be released from Prophet Of Rage's upcoming eponymous debut album, due out Sept. 15. Prophets Of Rage will kick off a two-month-long tour in support of the album on Sept. 7 in Boston.
