Henry Rollins, Australian music connoisseur, has teamed up with English punk rockers Ruts DC on the title track from their forthcoming album Music Must Destroy.

This is not the first time Rollins has appeared alongside Ruts DC; back in 2007 Rollins sang onstage with the band in London at a benefit gig for their late guitarist Paul Fox.

In between visits to his favourite Australian record stores, Rollins found time to get in to the studio with the band, despite stating numerous times that his music career is behind him.

Talking to Team Rock, he said “It is a great honour to not only be a part of the new Ruts DC album but also in the video for ‘Music Must Destroy’, growling away with my worthy constituent, Mr. Segs!”

While reactions to the track on Henry Rollin’s own Facebook page have been mixed to say the least, we can all agree that it’s promising to see Rollins back in the studio making music, even if it’s only a once off.
