"Out of Exile" is the title track of Audioslave's 2005 album, and it swaggers like a band with nothing left to prove. Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk and Chris Cornell share the music credit, Cornell alone wrote the words, and the band arranged it themselves.
The riff grinds and the rhythm hits like a pile driver, but it's the soaring, scorched melody that carries it into the sky. Brendan O'Brien mixed it for Interscope, keeping the heaviness thick without smothering the melody.
