A music video was made featuring the 1991-2001 lineup of Powerman 5000 playing first in a desert setting under aerial bombing attacks, followed by large robotic creatures directly invading an urban landscape. It was directed by The Brothers Strause and released in 2001 with DreamWorks Records.Release
"Bombshell", like Anyone for Doomsday? was regarded as a hotly anticipated release, one which would sell hundreds of thousands of copies. It was reportedly described as "When Worlds Collide times a million" in terms of sound. The whole album, as well as "Bombshell", was self-reported by Spider One as having "a much more aggressive edge to it" thanks to Mike Tempesta having more direct influence on the album than in Tonight the Stars Revolt!.Because of the sudden cancellation of Anyone for Doomsday?, the album's songs became significantly more obscure. The song has been released in four different forms. It has been released as a stand-alone single, as a single with the inclusion of the song "Danger Is Go!" , as a standalone track for its re-recorded 2024 single, and as a bonus track for Abandon Ship''.
