"Calm Like a Bomb" is a song by American rock band Rage Against the Machine from their third album The Battle of Los Angeles.

Like their song "Tire Me" from the 1996 album Evil Empire, “Calm Like a Bomb” never had a music video or was released on any media formats.

The artwork most commonly associated with the song is from a competition the band held for the then upcoming album The Battle of Los Angeles.

[2] Tom Morello eventually used the name "Battle Hymns" for a track on his debut album, One Man Revolution in 2007.

"Calm Like a Bomb" made its live debut on June 11, 1999, at the K-Rock Dysfunctional Family Picnic in Wantagh, New York at Jones Beach Amphitheater.
