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", it was initially made available for streaming on MTV Brasil's official website on October 4 and released physically through Deckdisc six days later. The album counts with guest appearances by Sérgio Mallandro and Ratos de Porão vocalist João Gordo, who also produced it under the pseudonym "Rick Rubinho".
"The God Master", a tribute to humorist Costinha, contains samples of his 1981 comedy album O Peru da Festa. Likewise, "Away Doom" is composed mostly of loops of shouts by then-Hermes & Renato member Gil Brother. "Metal Bucetation" was retroactively described by vocalist Bruno Sutter as a "shameless rip-off" of Helloween's "The Dark Ride". The cover art was drawn by cartoonist and illustrator, and is somewhat reminiscent of Manowar's 1996 album Louder Than Hell.
Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death was critically acclaimed upon its release, with its humorous and inventive songwriting and guest appearances being praised, and according to 2006 data it sold over 40,000 copies. 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 ", "Metal Bucetation" and "Metal Milkshake" had been released in advance in 2004.
In a 2021 interview for music news website Wikimetal, Bruno Sutter spoke very fondly of his work on Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death, describing it as "one of the best Brazilian heavy metal albums of all time".
