No Gods, No Managers is a music album by ska punk band Choking Victim. The album was released in 1999 through Hellcat / Epitaph Records and re-released on LP format by Epitaph in 2004. Being the sole full-length album of Choking Victim, it became hugely popular in the punk scene. It inspired many nascent bands, and the band members of Choking Victim went on to form other bands, most notably Leftover Crack.
The tone of the album is largely dark and pessimistic, with lyrics and artwork containing Satanic imagery. The cover does not contain a barcode, presumably in accordance with their staunch anti-capitalist message, and is decorated with various "dark" symbols. This is commonly regarded as a ploy to obtain shock value.
