Tom Morella Raid Track

Patch 7.4 arrives with the latest tier of the Arcadion raid series alongside a brand-new track from the mind of Grammy Award-winning artist Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage) featuring Caleb Shomo (Beartooth).  The track, titled "Everything Burns," is set to feature on Tom Morello's new album, also available as a standalone single on Wednesday, December 17, and is showcased in the "AAC Heavyweight M4" and "AAC Heavyweight M4 (Savage)" raid encounters. The track itself is the result of a conversation with a long-time friend of Tom Morello and a name familiar to the world of Final Fantasy XIV in Jason Charles Miller, vocalist for some of the most iconic Final Fantasy XIV tracks such as "Close in the Distance" and "To the Edge." After sharing Final Fantasy XIV Sound Director and Composer Masayoshi Soken's passion for Tom's music, the wheels were set in motion, resulting in the hard-hitting, ear-splitting track revealed today.
