Peter Frampton Taps Tom Morello For 'Lions At The Gate'

(UMe) Rock legend Peter Frampton has released a brand new single entitled "Lions at the Gate," that features Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello. Today's release follows iHeartRadio's world premiere of the track, where they aired the song on all of their Classic Rock stations around the country yesterday.

The song is the latest release from Frampton's upcoming album, Carry the Light, his first album of all-new material in 16 years, on May 15 via UMe-pre-order/pre-save here. Co-written and produced with his son Julian Frampton, the collection also includes guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, Bill Evans, H.E.R., Graham Nash and Benmont Tench.

"Lions at the Gate is a powerful track with a powerful message, and Tom's playing took it to another level," said Frampton.

"Lions at the Gate," a dynamic protest song featuring guitar by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, draws inspiration from lion statues outside Hollywood elite mansions in the 1920s. Frampton incorporates Morello's signature heat to urge listeners to "tear down the lions at the gate," symbolizing a bold challenge to the ultra-powerful. Julian Frampton also contributes vocals to the ferocious track.
