One Day as a Lion paired one of rock's most combustible voices with a drummer who hits like a landslide. Zack de la Rocha, the singer of Rage Against the Machine, teamed up with Jon Theodore, formerly of the Mars Volta and at the time drumming for Queens of the Stone Age, and the two of them set out to fuse rock and hip-hop into something leaner and meaner than either band.
Their self-titled debut EP came out on Anti- in July 2008, and "Wild International" was the flagship: de la Rocha spitting fire over distorted, pounding grooves, with Theodore's drums rolling like thunder underneath. It was brief, it was brutal, and it was all the evidence anyone needed that de la Rocha still had plenty to say.
