American Cheese (album)

American Cheese is the debut studio album by the band Powerman 5000, released in 1991. Self-released on the band's own label, Pow Wow Records, the album predates the band's signature industrial metal sound and instead features a funk metal style. American Cheese is considered a rare and difficult-to-find release in the band's discography, reflecting the band's early and less defined musical direction. The album title is a reference to the processed cheese product, likely as a satirical or ironic statement. It showcases a markedly different sound compared to their later, more commercially successful albums.
