Album out today!!!!!!!

Although we've have had this for sale for a while now, the official 'shop' release was today.

The album has garnered some delightful reviews so far:

Times Online 'Track of the Day':
'The Let Down'

New Noise:
"This is weird. This is odd. This is strange. And not that fake kind of wacky or just a little bit unusual either, but totally balls-out batshit insane. There are so many ideas splurging out across this record!"

Organ Magazine:
"We've been waiting for this one to drop though and we're pleased to say they haven't let us down.

This just might be the British metal album of the year. Oh yes, that good, a therapeutic scrape across your mind that'll trip you up and skin you knees."

Decibel Magazine:
"'My Name is Egg' and 'Kerosene' will make you the Fred Astaire of the pit!"

Sonic Minefield:
"Chickenhawk's self titled album is one monstrous slab of brutality filled to the brim with ideas."

Die Shellsuit:
"This album probably isn't for everyone because, frankly, you're probably not good enough to appreciate it."

Get involved, this represents 3 years work.

New Videos and Shop Release

We played with Monotonix last night, what a lovely time, their live show is brilliant, however the part i most enjoyed was when the guitarist was selling a copy of their album to someone and just said 'not as good as the live show' to the lucky recipient.
We have some new live videos from last night as well as some videos from when we recorded our delightful opus. have a cheeky peek:

our album will be in those real shops in 8 days, lovely time.

We are writing a new album, it will be the first to feature DJ Matt Reid, the new stuff can only be described as 'amneotic.'
