Tom Morello and the other guy did a song for the current raid tier that just released. They are promoting pretty heavy, song is meh but people seem to like it.

They're really going all out promoting this mediocre-ass song just because Tom Morello didn't turn down free money.

I've never heard of Beartooth before this song and I never want to hear him (them?) again after this song. Morello's still a great guitarist but everything else about the song is just corny.

Also Tom said some embarrassing things about the song

"It's a reflection of the world, and a warning" - Tom Morello's collaboration with Final Fantasy 14 is more than just a song, it's a statement

"I'm pretty close to death right now," laughs Masayoshi Soken.

"For me, Everything Burns is both a reflection of the world that we're seeing and a warning

Context: the song plays when you're fighting a regenerating snake monster

It's pretty low tier in the context of almost every other FF14 songs.

It is, but I understand the push behind it - XIV is currently at its lowest subscriber count in 7 years so they're trying to promote the game more at this point in time.

Also I'm sure it was a dream come true for Soken to collaborate with Morello, so I'm happy for him even though I don't like the song.
