Announced in July 2005 under the working title "Kings of Metal Fried Chicken of Death" (in a possible allusion to Manowar's 1988 album Kings of Metal),[1] it was initially made available for streaming on MTV Brasil's official website on October 4[2] and released physically through Deckdisc six days later.

[3] The album counts with guest appearances by Sérgio Mallandro (on the track "Metal Glu-Glu") and Ratos de Porão vocalist João Gordo (on the "Intro", in which he is heard reading a cake recipe with a booming, guttural voice), who also produced it under the pseudonym "Rick Rubinho" (parodying Rick Rubin).

"Metal Bucetation" was retroactively described by vocalist Bruno Sutter as a "shameless rip-off" of Helloween's "The Dark Ride".

[6] The cover art was drawn by cartoonist and illustrator Mozart Couto [pt], and is somewhat reminiscent of Manowar's 1996 album Louder Than Hell.

[7] Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death was critically acclaimed upon its release, with its humorous and inventive songwriting and guest appearances being praised,[8] and according to 2006 data it sold over 40,000 copies.
