Last Call in Jonestown is the third studio album by American metal band Polkadot Cadaver, released on May 14, 2013.

Background

It is the first album by the band with Scott Radway on drums, who had been a live member since 2010. On June 15, 2013, the album entered the Billboard Heatseekers chart at number 38. ^[2] Later that year, plans were announced for a colored vinyl release of the album. Limited to 500 copies, the vinyl became available for pre-order on September 27 and began to ship in early November 2013. ^[3]

The song "Last Call in Jonestown" is inspired by the Jonestown massacre, ^[4] a mass-suicide led by Jim Jones, leader of the Peoples Temple (an American cult), in which 918 individual cult members died in Guyana in the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project (better known as Jonestown). ^{[5] [6] [7]}
