"Bombtrack" is a song by American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine that opens 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 intro riff was composed by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello when he was playing with the band Lock Up, and, upon hearing it, they told him it was too "heavy". The song is one of three on the album in F# along with "Know Your Enemy" and "Fistful of Steel". It is one of the band's heaviest songs and incorporates subtle double kick flourishes which was rare for Brad Wilk. Impressed by their song, Rage Against The Machine named it Bombtrack in reference to hip hop terminology where the word 'bomb' means 'the greatest', making the song title literally mean 'the greatest track'.
