It's been a while since I've raved about any new cartoon shows on Adult Swim. But lately some buddies and I have been really getting into a show called Metalocalypse. It follows the exploits of the world's greatest Deth-metal band, Dethklok. Now, not only is it a cleverly written show, but the music that the band plays is so totally kick-ass! How much, you may ask? Well, enough to garnish a spot in Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2 with their song Thunderhorse. The band members themselves are a bunch of cerebrally deficient eccentric billionaires who are clueless to the ways of the world and everyday activities such as cooking. They are too busy selling out concerts for coffee jingles that they have written, or killing fans when their massive stages fall from the sky. Not since Korgoth of Barbaria have I seen so much blood, gore, and carnage used in the name of comedy. For some reason, there is also a Government organization that is featured in the show, and through them we learn that Dethklok may be the bringers of the Apocalypse as foretold in a prophecy. The band is made up of Nathan Explosion (Lead Vocals), William Muderface (Bass Player), Pickles (Drummer), Skwisgaar Skwigelf (Lead Guitar), and Toki Wartooth (Rhythm Guitar). Meet them here! There are some celebrities involved with this show, like Mark Hammil and some members of Metallica, which means that we're not the only ones who have gotten Deth-fever. I can't recommend this show highly enough. If you like your comedy served with a whopping ass-full of pain, death, blood, and guts then give Metalocalypse a try. It's fun for the whole family!

Deth is Hilarious!
