"Crank the System" is the lead single by the Australian nu metal band Superheist from their first album The Prize Recruit.

The B-side includes a grindcore version of the main song, then "Two Faced", "Pulse", "Move the Fuck Around" and "Bullet for You" – an early demo of the next single from the album.

In mid-1999 Superheist toured nationally backing Sepultura,[1][2] but shortly their bass guitarist, Simon "Si" Durrant left and returned to his home town of Adelaide where he joined a short-lived project, Screwface:13.

[1] After the band's first EP, 8 Miles High, later works were more defined in their sound and tone – high energy and more traditional nu metal – as seen on The Prize Recruit.

[3] The track was co-written by all five members, Richard William "DW" Norton on lead guitar, backing vocals; Roderick "Burger" McLeod on lead vocals; Sean Robert P Pentecost on drums; Fetah Sabawi on synthesisers and samplers; and Dedman.
