"Battle Sirens" is a single by the Australian electro house duo Knife Party featuring American guitarist Tom Morello from the band Rage Against The Machine.
Background
In an interview with The Rolling Stones, Members of Knife Party stated "Tom (Morello) hit us up when we were in the studio saying he'd always loved the idea of merging his guitar riffs into the electronic world and we bounced some ideas back and forth until we had the final version" and added that Performing this track live as a surprise during their Ultra set was insane. Tom Morello said "'Battle Sirens' is the cross genre hard guitar/hard EDM mashup I've been waiting to hear for years,The devastating grooves, monster drops and insane tension that are a hallmark of both Knife Party and Rage Against the Machine are elevated to a crazy level with this jam."[1]
Composition
The song is in the key of E Major at 174 BPM.[2]
