"A Dignified Rage" is a song by Australian nu metal group Superheist, released as the second single, from their second album Identical Remote Controlled Reactions.^[1]^[2] It was issued on 26 August 2002 by the Pivotal Records label via Shock Records.

The Recording[]

The tracks foundations were written by Dedman on a beach in Red Rock, Northern NSW and was just an acoustic idea that him and Biro jammed on from time to time. The track was overlooked during initial pre-production as it did not seem to fit with the style of the rest of the album. It was eventually taken into the studio and extra parts were co-written by all five members.^[1]^[3]^[4] Norton co-produced the track with Adam Rhodes at Backbeach Studios in Rye, Victoria.
The single reached No. 50 on the ARIA Singles Chart.^[5] The b-side of the single features a completely acoustic version of the song, the No Regrets Version, which uses the original vocal track and has Fetah playing acoustic guitar, Sean playing congas and Drew adding a more simplified bass part. It was recorded at Phat Farm studio by Adam Rhodes. It is the only Superheist track to not feature DW Norton.
The song was not to popular with many of the core fans feeling they had strayed to far into a 'made for radio' sound. The track however did expose Superheist to a whole new fanbase, with regular rotation on commercial radio stations in Australia. The track has always had either a love it or hate it relationship with the fans and the band members.
