About

Fictional, animated metal gods Dethklok are the "heaviest and most popular metal band" in the world. Consisting of lyrical visionary and frontman Nathan Explosion, fastest guitarist in the world Swisgaar Swigelf, second fastest guitarist in the world Toki Wartooth, most full of hate bassist anywhere William Murderface, and Pickles, the world's most celebrated drummer, this part-American/part-Scandinavian group stars in the Adult Swim cartoon, Metalocalypse. Created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha as a sardonic homage to metalheads and metal's longstanding cliches, the show follows the exploits of the band and the committee that wants to destroy them. Featuring the catchy death metal songs that soundtracked each episode of season 1, 2007's Dethalbum was revered by real metal heads everywhere.
