Pumpkin Thierry This album of Stoner/grunge/doom/psych metal has a great sound and one of the most powerful rythm section you can imagine!

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Plucked this one out due to its eggstrodinary grooviness and its suitably fowl riffs.

Crypt Guard Gnarly 90's grunge vibes fused with growling stoner metal riffscapades, emerging in form of a clucking bunch of feathers, straight out of the grave no less. Filled to the brim with riffs and loaded with over-charged vocals à la Alice In Chains this one sure hits like a sucker punch.

about

‘Chicken of the Grave’ is Mad Chicken’s third album, the second recorded during the pandemic. In 2020 the band released ‘Homemade Demo Tape - Vol. II’, which featured 2 new songs and 9 alternative versions of songs that they had already recorded and used to play more often at concerts.

In this new album, 11 unpublished tracks are presented, created from old riffs kept by the band and other riffs created during the pandemic. With the exception of the track 'Lies In Your Head', which was a composition by Filipe with lyrics and melody for a long time, all the other tracks were developed and rehearsed in an instrumental way since October 2020. From the instrumental demos recorded during these rehearsals, the vocalist (Filipe) created all the lyrics and vocal lines until the end of January 2021, when they started recording at the band's rehearsal studio, in Arcos-MG. Throughout these 11 tracks, the sound of the album transits through several influences of the band, starting with a more stoner metal footprint in the two opening tracks (In The Pit / Devil Within), returning to a more grunge vibe on the third track (Lies In Your Head) and continues this traditional stoner / grunge mix until the end of the album.

Initially planned to be released in March 2021, with the difficulties imposed by the pandemic the band only managed to finish the recordings and the process of mixing the album in April. This is the third work of the band distributed by the Abraxas label, this time a joint release with the label Limestone Records, from the band's hometown, Arcos-MG.
