Symphony Performs an Orchestral Version of ‘Killing In the Name’ by Rage Against The Machine

A talented symphony performs an orchestral version of the classic Rage Against the Machine song “Killing In The Name” arranged by composer Nick Proche. Nick is currently raising funds through Kickstarter in order allow him to put together a full album of similar arrangements.

Ever listen to a great song on the radio and think, man, wouldn’t that be really awesome if an orchestra did a cover of this song?…In that case, I have just the album for you, dear reader! Tantamount is an album of orchestral arrangements of well-known songs, performed by a real orchestra. Songs like “Bulls on Parade” by Rage Against the Machine, “Black” by Pearl Jam, “Hysteria” by Muse, “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance, and more, all arranged for and recorded by excellent session musicians in an LA recording studio.

For the sake of comparison, here’s the original.
