Party Animals is an album by the Norwegian rock band Turbonegro, released in April 2005 in Norway and May 2005 in the rest of Europe. It is the final album in the "Apocalypse trilogy". It was released on Burning Heart Records in Sweden, on Bitzcore Records in Germany, and on 23 August 2005 via Abacus Recordings in the United States.

Burning Heart Records also released a version with bonus DVD. It comes with a cardboard sleeve around the jewel-cased CD/DVD. The bonus DVD contains the Hank von Helvete workout video.

Music[]

For the first time it was decided to work with an external producer. The basic tracks were all recorded in November through December 2004 in Oslo, then finished and mixed in Los Angeles in early 2005 together with Steven Shane McDonald. The album sound appears rather fierce, blunt and with less focus on studio production refinements in comparison to its predecessor Scandinavian Leather.

Keith Morris and Nick Oliveri contribute guest vocals on one song each, as well as the Norwegian Kringkastings Orchestra to supply the dark creeping atmosphere for the six-minute long song "City of Satan", Turbonegro's ode to their hometown of Oslo.

Bassist Happy-Tom has stated that the album was inspired by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Black Flag and Shostakovich.
