Bombtrack
"Bombtrack" is a song by American rock band Rage Against the Machine. It is the band’s third single and the opening track on their self-titled debut album.
Like most of Rage Against the Machine's songs, the song's lyrics discuss social inequality, proclaiming that "landlords and power whores" were going to "burn".
The riffs were composed by Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford. The song is one of three on the album in the key of F♯ along with "Know Your Enemy" and "Fistful of Steel". It is their highest-charting song in the Netherlands, at number eight.
The single artwork features Cuban photographer Alberto Korda's famous image of Che Guevara, Guerrillero Heroico. A mirrored version of the iconic two-tone portrait by Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick (T-shirt version).
A music video was released, depicting support for the Peruvian Maoist organization Sendero Luminoso and its leader Abimael Guzman.
In the video, the group played inside a cage, mimicking Guzman being shown to journalists inside a cage after his capture by the Peruvian military. The initial sequence of the video feature the sentence "For 13 years the people of Peru have waged revolutionary war against their oppressive U.S.-backed government. Their movement is known as the Sendero luminoso or Shining Path."
The group mentioned Shining Path again in the lyrics of "Without a Face."
The video clip did not appear on the group's first home video, citing Rage's first altered political opinion.[citation needed] In 2003, the video finally appeared as bonus material on their Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium DVD.
