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!. It was pulled by DreamWorks Records two weeks before the release date because the label was concerned over the new single, Bombshell, only peaking at number 9 instead of number 1 on the Billboard charts. The label planned on having the band record a couple of new songs to add to the album before release. 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.

• "Bombshell" served as the only single from the album. It has also been used in several notable events, such as the theme song for the professional wrestling tag team Dudley Boyz during the last 18 months of their first WWE tenure. It also appeared on the Freddy vs. Jason soundtrack and in the 2001 film Evolution. and as the theme song in NHL Hitz 20-03, Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder, and SX Superstar.
• "Danger Is Go!" is featured on the PlayStation 2 game Frequency.

Track listing

• The song "The Future That Never Was" ends at 4:35. After 30 seconds of silence (4:35–5:05), a hidden track starts; it's a strange transmission-like sound with some additional beats before cutting off completely.
• The original version of "Rise" can be found on demo versions of the album.
• "Disease of Machinery" is sometimes listed as "Machines for the Living" on the back
