Peter Frampton has released another new song from his upcoming album, Carry the Light.
This one, a protest song, is called “Lions at the Gate” and it features guitar by Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, as well as vocals from his son Julian. According to a press release, Frampton drew inspiration from the sort of lion statues often seen outside Hollywood mansions in the 1920s.
“‘Lions at the Gate’ is a powerful track with a powerful message, and Tom’s playing took it to another level,” Frampton said in a statement.
