Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death

Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death is the debut studio album by Massacration, a fictional heavy metal band originally conceived for sketches by the Brazilian comedy troupe Hermes & Renato. Announced in July 2005 under the working title "Kings of Metal Fried Chicken of Death" (in a possible allusion to Manowar's 1988 album Kings of Metal),[1] it was initially made available for streaming on MTV Brasil's official website on October 4[2] and released physically through Deckdisc six days later.[3] The album counts with guest appearances by Sérgio Mallandro (on the track "Metal Glu-Glu") and Ratos de Porão vocalist João Gordo (on the "Intro", in which he is heard reading a cake recipe with a booming, guttural voice), who also produced it under the pseudonym "Rick Rubinho" (parodying Rick Rubin).[4][5]

"The God Master", a tribute to humorist Costinha (who was a huge influence for Hermes & Renato's comedy style), contains samples of his 1981 comedy album O Peru da Festa. Likewise, "Away Doom" is composed mostly of samples of shouts by then-Hermes & Renato member Gil Brother. The cover art was drawn by cartoonist and illustrator Mozart Couto, and is somewhat reminiscent of Manowar's 1996 album Louder Than Hell.[6]

Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death was critically acclaimed upon its release, with its humorous and inventive songwriting and guest appearances being praised,[7] and according to 2006 data it sold over 40,000 copies.[8] Music videos were made for "Cereal Metal", "Evil Papagali" and "Metal Is the Law", the latter receiving a nomination for an MTV Video Music Brazil Award in 2006, in the "Video of the Year" category; "Metal Massacre Attack (Aruê Aruô)", "Metal Bucetation" and "Metal Milkshake" had been released in advance in 2004.
