Silverchair began recording their second studio album, Freak Show , in May 1996 while experiencing the success of Frogstomp in Australia and the US. Produced by Nick Launay ( Birthday Party , Models , Midnight Oil ) and released in February 1997, the album reached number one in Australia and yielded three top-10 singles: ” Freak “, ” Abuse Me “, and ” Cemetery “. Its fourth single, ” The Door “, reached No. 25. The songs focused on the anger and backlash that the expectations of Frogstomp brought upon the band. Freak Show was certified gold in the US, 2× platinum in Australia, and global sales eventually exceeded 1.5 million copies.
