Anyone for Doomsday? is the third full-length album by American rock band Powerman 5000.

Background

The album was originally slated as the follow-up to 1999's Tonight the Stars Revolt!. Spider has said in interviews that the album was dropped because it sounded too much like the previous album and that he wanted to release something fresh and different instead of repeating himself. During this time, however, conflicts began to arise causing longtime members Dorian 27 (Dorian Heartsong) and Al3 (Allen Pahanish) to leave the band. As a result, the album went unreleased for many years. The album was available for a while on Powerman 5000's official website through Spider One's record label, Megatronic Records. The promotional copies featured artwork that was different from the copies available on the website. The album however was taken down for legal reasons. The album is now available in full on iTunes and Spotify and the physical copy of the album has become a collectors item.

In other media

• "Bombshell" served as the only single from the album.
