Party Animals is an album by the Norwegian rock band Turbonegro, released in April 2005 in Norway and May 2005 in the rest of Europe. It is the final album in the "Apocalypse trilogy". It was released on Burning Heart Records in Sweden, on Bitzcore Records in Germany, and on 23 August 2005 via Abacus Recordings in the United States.

Burning Heart Records also released a version with bonus DVD. It comes with a cardboard sleeve around the jewel-cased CD/DVD. The bonus DVD contains the Hank von Helvete workout video.

Overview

[edit]

Party Animals is the first Turbonegro album where the band collaborated an external producer. The album was recorded in Oslo between November and December in 2004, then mixed and mastered in Los Angeles in early 2005 together with Steven Shane McDonald. The album sound appears fierce, blunt and with less focus on studio production refinements in comparison to its predecessor Scandinavian Leather. Keith Morris and Nick Oliveri contribute guest vocals on one song each, while the Norwegian Radio Orchestra features on "City of Satan". Bassist Happy-Tom stated that the album was inspired by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Black Flag and Shostakovich.
