Don't Do Anything For Dethklok

Now here's my next review. I am talking about Metalocalypse, the brutal metal cartoon from Adult Swim. Being a fan of Metal for years, I had always wondered when there would be a metal themed TV series and it came a few years ago.

METALOCALYPSE

The general story is about the biggest band in the world: Dethklok and the problems they cause due to their stupidity, meanwhile a secret cult are planning on destroying Dethklok in order to prevent the Metalocalypse from happening. This is essentially Spinal Tap mixed with excessive blood and gore. Dethklok are a 5 membered Death Metal band: Skwisgaar Skwigelf (taller than a tree) on lead guitars; Toki Wartooth (not a bumblebee) on rythm guitars; William Murderface (Murderface Murderface) on Bass Guitar; Pickles (doodily doo ding dong doodily doodily doo) on Drums and Nathan Explosion on vocals. The secondary characters, include Doctor Rockzo (who does cocaine), Charles Foster Offdensen (Dethklok's manager) and Dethklok Minute Host.

So let's get the review done.

Metalocalypse is an amazing show, it is funny, witty and violent. The music is talented and "brutal" a perfect example of talented animation. The members look like actual musicians (such as Nathan Explosion looking like Type O Negative's Peter Steele and Pickles looks like Devin Townsend). If you are a metalhead, then I do suggest this for you.
