Volume 1 is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band CKY. Recorded at The Ground Hog Studios in Holland, Pennsylvania, it was produced by guitarist Chad I Ginsburg and released on February 27, 1999 by Distant Recordings and Teil Martin International. Since its initial release as Camp Kill Yourself, the album has been reissued by various record labels with different titles and artwork.
Most of the material for Volume 1 was written by vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller before the addition of Ginsburg completed the band's lineup, during which time he and drummer Jess Margera were performing under the name Oil with live bassist Ryan Bruni. Miller plays bass on the album, although Bruni does feature on "The Human Drive in Hi-Fi" and "Lost in a Contraption".
Despite its lack of chart success, Volume 1 features a number of the band's signature songs, including arguably their best-known track, "96 Quite Bitter Beings". Many of the songs were originally featured on skateboarding and stunt videos produced by Margera's brother Bam, including the CKY video series with which the band shares its name. "96 Quite Bitter Beings" was released as a single in 1999.

Trading Card Game.
Volume 1 is the debut solo album from ex-Busted and Son of Dork band member James Bourne, under the name Future Boy. The complete album was officially released via digital download on 3 June 2010. Produced and mixed by Tommy Henriksen and James Bourne, Bourne describes the album as "100% electronic - and not a rock album". The album had been previously released in two halves - with 'Side A' being released on 3 May, and 'Side B' being released on 1 June. The album's artwork was designed and painted by Paul Karslake. Bourne claims that the album will be released on CD at 'some point', but it will depend on 'when he has the cash'. Bourne has promoted the album by being the supporting act for Twenty Twenty during their 2010 Clubs & Pubs Tour.
The entire album was written and recorded in a week but was not released straight away.
Through the corridors of darkness, on the wings of mans
desire,
Conjured by the soulless ones at the everlasting fire.
Borne on waves of insanity from mans primeval past,
The mantra of the tumult has awakened him at last.
Drawing near in the gloom comes the twilight of all
shame,
The ravens of night have flown away to set Valhalla
aflame.
For too long now the right hand gods have fought between
themselves,
With paths that lead to paradise from this demented
world.
This is the age, the age of Satan, now that the twilight
is done,
Now that Satan has come.
Blue velvet shrouds the altar, black candles pierce the
dark,
The skulls of the unbelievers peer sightless, bleached
and stark.
The inverted cross of burnished gold the burial urns of
light,
The pungent smell of incense wafts out into the night.
This is the age, the age of Satan, now that the twilight
is done,
Now that Satan has come.
