Created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, "Metalocalypse" follows the on- and off-stage adventures of DETHKLOK, an incredibly talented and insanely popular Norwegian heavy metal band. DETHKLOK boasts the lineup of vocalist Nathan Explosion (lyrical visionary), Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth (two of the fastest guitarists alive), bassist William Murderface and drummer Pickles — the soul of the band. Not really.

"Dethalbum" features a guest appearance by legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DEATH, DARK ANGEL, TESTAMENT). He previously stated about the CD, "What a killer metal record! I can't wait for everyone else to hear it, and since it has now been slated for a September 25th release, that is now gonna be sooner than later, especially with leakage. And yes, it appears that we are going on tour with it as well! The logistics are being worked on as we speak, but it looks like it's gonna be a real killer, multi-media show. I'm looking real forward to that, I've even suspended the booking of a ton of clinics to clear my schedule to be available."

I don't care for the show (Metalocalypse on AdultSwim... though I'll watch almost anything once), but I absolutely love the music. There are a few tracks I was hoping to see on the list that I didn't ('Sown Back Together Wrong' and Skwisgaar's amazing instrumental, 'Destroy My Battle Opponent's Balls'), but there are also titles on there that I hadn't heard of before. So, I guess there's still a possibility that they were reworked into these new songs. Anyhow, I'm buying the Deluxe Dethalbum on the release date for sure. I just hope I can get hold of a leaked copy before then to hold me over.

Yeah, the show is kinda "Meh... Some fun stuff occasionally but not that good" but the music is fantastic.

The show is really only funny if you listen to metal. Alot of the jokes are spoofing how overboard these death metal guys go with trying to be "evil" and "brutal"

Tons of kids watch it who don't even listen to metal and laugh when someone dies but they hardly understand the program for what it really is.

[PAAATE]

It would have been really funny if Murderface wasn't so extremely annoying...

Heard the promo album yesterday. I know it was a promo since the voice-stamp kept popping up in the middle of the songs. It was only a slight disappointment because

Spoiler:

it sounded a tad more generic than the TV versions, it was only the one-disc track-list, and, more importantly, it didn't quite sound like Nathan Explosion (voiced by the talented Brendon Small) on vocals but actually a soundalike. Why on Earth would they need to change the voice?? I hope it's just my ears playing tricks on me and Brendon was just a bit rushed laying down the vocals. Otherwise, it's all just about as funny and badass as on AdultSwim. The only reason it isn't EXACTLY as amusing is because the significance of the lyrics is from the episode it's played in, and it sounds too much like an immitation for my tastes.

The never-before-heard tracks are:

Spoiler:

02. Go Into the Water (tho it was mentioned in an episode)
04. Bloodrocuted
07. Better Metal Snake
08. The Lost Vikings
12. Hatredcopter (sounds like Hetfield guested on this one)
13. Castratikron
14. Face Fisted

If it's a promo his vocals probably aren't mixed properly and that's why it sounds off.
