Australian stoner/sludge/thrash metal trio Magic Chicken Fudgetoe announce new album and premiere first single »Children Of Atom«!

Perth, Australia based stoner/sludge/thrash metal trio Magic Chicken Fudgetoe premiere new single »Children Of Atom«, released on February 14th, 2025.

»Children Of Atom« is the first single taken from the band’s upcoming album, »Book Of Uranium-235 And Other Hymns… And Other Hymns«, scheduled for release later this month.

Magic Chicken Fudgetoe says about »Book Of Uranium-235 And Other Hymns… And Other Hymns«:

“2025 we are releasing our 9-track, post-apocalyptic concept-album of tribal noise and doom metal. Thematically about the power and persistence of religious iconography following the complete annihilation of the world.

A huge thank you to Mirkow Gastow for providing the gorgeously bleak artwork. Recorded and mixed by the talented (and quite patient) Benny J Ward at Pink House. And mastered by the legendary “Doom Daddy” Derek Mattin.

»Book Of Uranium-235« will be releasing on gatefold vinyl, slipdisc CD and all digital platforms later this year. Before then we’re releasing our first single from the album »Children Of Atom« on February 14th.”

Dark Riffs… Sludge • Stoner • Grunge • Noise • Thrash

Magic Chicken Fudgetoe (Perth, Western Australia) are a grunge oriented beast, originally emerging from a shared passion for the underground sludge, thrash and noise rock scenes from the 1980s and 90s. Taking equal parts influence from all things heavy and gnarly, the result is an abrasive but hook-heavy sound taking as much of a sonic que from Kreator as The Pixies.

Off the back of their previous releases Magic Chicken Fudgetoe supported Yawning Man (USA), 1000mods (Greece), Seedy Jeezus (AUS) and now in 2022 the three-piece have been focused on releasing their latest series of infectious singles. Starting with the chaotic punk-thrasher »No Personality« released June 2022, the power-pop heavy »Get Somewhere« released September 2022, 2022, and the latest being »Yahweh« released January 2023.
