Metalocalypse

I didn’t really expect much from Metalocalypse, just some lame attempt at metal with some crappy animation and dumb voices. What I got was absolutely the best show on Adult Swim, hand’s down! The music actually kicks, the animation is better than expected, and the voices are perfect… PERFECT!
Metalocalypse is about the metal group Dethklok, the biggest band in the world. They are so big that they have the 12th largest economy in the world (just ahead of Denmark.) There’s a group that monitors Dethklok that’s made up of some military and religious figures, looks like the U.S. Army, the Pope and some other “shadowy” types. There’s a quick segment during each episode where they discuss Dethklok and what they should do about them, either monitoring or destroying them is the end result of these meetings. Obviously, they fail each time.
Each episode follows the group through something ordinary for a metal band.. writing a new album, finding a chef, doing employee reviews.. all in a way that’s just so METAL! The employee videos the band made for the annual meeting are priceless.
I’m having trouble describing just how awesome this DVD is, so I’ll just sum up. If you like or have liked metal music in the past, buy this. If you have had friend who likes or has liked metal, buy this. If you know people who like or have liked metal, buy this. All you need to really enjoy Metalocalypse is a general understanding of what metal band and metal fans are like. If you’ve got that, you’re gonna have a METAL time!
Dethklok RULES!!!
