If you watched Adult Swim between 2006-2010, you probably stumbled across Metalocalypse. If you didn't, this synopsis from Wiki is about as good as you can summarize the show:

Quote:

Metalocalypse is an American musical adult animated television series created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha for Adult Swim. It premiered on August 6, 2006. The television program centers on the larger-than-life melodic death metal band Dethklok, and often portrays dark and macabre content, including such subjects as violence, death, and the drawbacks of fame, with hyperbolic black comedy. The show was widely heralded as both a parody and a pastiche of heavy metal culture.

It's a wild-ass show to say the least. Apparently they released a "straight-to-digital" movie called Army of the Doomstar. I think this post might be for like maybe 10 posters on this whole site who actually go an see Dethklok perform or remember the show. Regardless, here you go.

Raise your hand if you ever tried to learn Thunderhorse on guitar while drunk! I tried for like an hour and half straight before I remembered I didn't know how to play guitar...

I unironically still listen to like four or five Dethklok songs in my rotation

I loved this show. The main guy Nathan murder or whatever his name is reminds me of Glenn Danzig for whatever reason. So fake brooding.

So the animated band became a real band? Kind of like The Monkees?

I'm a fan of Brendon Small. Dethklock is good, but I absolutely loved Brendon's 2 Galaktikon albums. Fantastic music. He's got a great voice.

Loved Metalocalypse as well.

You should have tried to learn "The Hammer". Much easier song to start out with.

Loved the show.

Named my dog, Dr. Rockso. Loved that dog. He passed this year. RIP in metal. Pic of him in a mariachi outfit for cinco de Mayo… his face says this is not metal dad, brutal.

Sorry, losing a pup is never fun, but I have to ask… Did he do cocaine?

Oh yeah. Sunday evenings back in college Station, loading a bowl, and watching Metalocalypse. Those were the days.

Go into the water is an awesome song.

I need to finish the series. Or maybe I did and I don't remember how it ended.

Murderface was my favorite character
The episode where he was telling everyone how good a speller he is was one of my favorites. Also the one where Toki created a club but wouldn't let Murderface join.

Went to the Dethklok live show in Houston back in Nov. 2009. I was way too old to be there even back then.

I don't like Death Metal music….. At all. But I must be one of the chosen 10 people for this post, because the trailer in the first post looks like one of the most awesome animated items I've ever seen (behind a few Rick and Morty moments).

I'd check out the show, probably skip the band.

One of my favorite gags on the show is the ridiculous names of all of the experts the tribunal would bring in. Brendon Small said, in a panel, that he would just roll his knuckles across the keyboard and that they did it as a joke to mess with Mark Hamill(voice of Senator Stampingston).

"Dr Romumilif Chesterfield"

"Ronald Von Momneburg"

"Vincenzo D'allimamma La Corningston III"

"Horace Marvingblad Wimplesteine, JR"

"Dr Chaz Fazzeldoctinhoffer"

"Dr. Crumpworth Sponglasia the Fourth Junior"

"The Jomfru Brothers" (jomfru means virgin in Norwegian)

Have you never seen Metalocalypse?

I do not like death metal, at all, but that show is simply awesome. A lot of fantastic guitarist, and simply musician, humor in that show. There's a scene where they use guitar pedals instead of a remote to control their TV.

I've never seen it, but I'll be looking for it soon. I like everything I'm hearing about it.
