Champagne Holocaust is the debut studio album by English rock band, Fat White Family, released on April 1, 2013, by Trashmouth Records. A deluxe edition of the album, featuring ten extra tracks was released on September 14, 2014 by Fat Possum Records.
Champagne Holocaust was met with mixed but generally positive reviews from critics.
Nick Neyland of Pitchfork said, "It’s unlikely that Champagne Holocaust will be the album Fat White Family is best remembered for—this is the shambolic beginnings of something, full of directions tried and discarded and barely fleshed out." Mark Deming of AllMusic said, "Champagne Holocaust sounds like the work of foul-mouthed, ill-tempered drunks, but that's also clearly what they had in mind, and in its own way this album is an off-putting success -- it's hardly everyone's cup of tea, but the Fat White Family wanted nothing less."
Kate Lloyd of NME said, "The record is undoubtedly an antidote to the creeping conservatism in rock, typified by that photo of Haim with David Cameron. But it’s also music that’s constantly on the brink of collapsing under the weight of its own politics, poverty and vicious intent."
