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 17th December and is showcased in the “AAC Heavyweight M4” and “AAC Heavyweight M4 (Savage)” raid encounters. The track itself is the result of a conversation from long-time friend of Tom Morello and a name familiar to the world of FFXIV in Jason Charles Miller, vocalist for some of the most iconic FFXIV tracks such as “Close in the Distance” and “To the Edge”. After sharing FFXIV 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.
