On March 31, 2026 Metal Department will be releasing the third album from AMERIKAN KAOS, ‘The Sheeple Swing’. The album release is preceded by a digital single release for first single “(I Won) The Hottie Lottery”, available from all major streaming platforms NOW!
Says Jeff:
“And there’s a fun one, I think the track the record opens up with “The Hottie Lottery”, which I’m just having fun with it, right? In brackets “(I Won) The Hottie Lottery” and of course it’s about a female.
As always, on these records, I have quite a few songs about my wife, but this one is a fun one. It’s got a little, I won’t say Michael Jackson vibe because there’s no way you could compete or even get close to almost even a B level unless you’re Bruno Mars or one of these types of artists. But for this I wasn’t trying to be Michael Jackson, but I always liked the song “Enjoy Yourself” by The Jacksons/Jackson Five? I can’t remember, but you know, Michael Jackson was always a favourite of mine and billions of others. A fun thing.
I also love Las Vegas and casinos, so looks like I won the jackpot by meeting my wife is kind of the obvious meaning in that one.”
The debut album, ‘Armageddon Boogie’, was released to critical acclaim in May of 2024, and 2nd album ‘All That Jive’ in 2025.
The trilogy will now finally be complete with the release of ‘The Sheeple Swing’.
