Skwisgar is the fastest guitar player ever, and he's always talking about all the girls he has sex with. Or making fun of Toki. If you've heard of the "cookie monster" vocals in metal, well Nathan Explosion is a master of them, probably because that's how he always talks. He's always coming up with song ideas, or deleting the finished product for not being heavy enough.
Too bad it destroys the world's economy and causes fan suicide rates to go up. This show is extremely sick and demented but pretty funny, and for metal fans it will be a godsend.
If they would develop Toki or make it a little bit less dry I would give it a I have not a clue as to how Brendon Small's "Home Movies" went on for 5 years, but apparently, people liked it enough. Metalocalypse is the opposite. Instead of life lessons learned, we usually wind up with lessons on death. Instead of generic characters, we have evil, war like creatures and the most eccentric characters this side of hell. Drugs, decapitations, and much dismemberment is just a slice of what goes on in a typical 11 minute episode of it.
It's very adult, and if a 5 year old watches 1 minute of this, they will grow up to kill you. Likewise, the humor is hard, but absolutely hilarious. Hell, even the music is good. Amid the mesmerizing, sometimes repetitive nature of the visuals, it is like a train wreck that you can't peel away from. Or, more precisely, an airplane that's caught in a storm, loses it's engines and about to crash into a train, somewhere over a gas line, and very close to a very large crowd of people all gathering for some useless cause.
That's a lot of death. And that is a very good thing. One of the things people are saying is true. Is that they can work off a heavy metal line. But we all know this isn't true. KaZenPhi 4 April Like with anything Adult Swim I appreciate that it exists yet at the same time I can't pretend I was actually entertained by it or interested in it. On paper the humor, style and music should be right up my alley and they are all done perfectly fine finely?
If you ask me you can be anything you want, I believe in you! There are some really talented musicians behind this show and the songs are pretty decent if a bit forgettable, but there's no novelty factor to Metal parodying and celebrating itself at the same time at this point, nor when Metalocalypse first came out.
The countless cameos fall flat, the doomy weirdness feels a bit forced from the get-go and I can't help but feel I've seen this all before. This show was great for providing memes and I'm sure after watching it, select 14 year olds doodled some wonderfully bizarre things on their exercise books to freak out their teachers, but beyond that there's no meat to this meal.
No teeth. Metal is great but in the 21st century there's nothing intrinsically provoking about it. It's a fantastic form of self-expression but without a certain emotional vulnerability and a smidgen of self-deprecating humour you just come off like a generic dudebro mumbling "dude, metal is like, awesome man, skulls and blood and stuff! Detroit Metal City this is not.
Still, not too bad. It's not a tremendous waste of time, but i can't say I will remember much about this show. There's a lot of reasons to like Metalocalypse. Its honestly a one of a kind style of comedy i haven't seen anywhere else, and a bit of an acquired taste. A lot of the humor is in the timing, the awkward conversations, the mumbling band-speak, or the moronic or frivolous things the band does.
There's also really messed up parts which are so bad but you can't help but laugh. I think one of my favorite moments that really epitomizes the show is Tokis guitar recital that the whole episode leads up to that just spirals out of control, continuously interrupted by band members with their own ridiculous apologies to each other, while the audience has no clue what is going on.
Most episodes end in some kind of bizarre convolution or catastrophe, and begin with either the "deathklok minute" or a surreal, creepy looking music video featuring dethkloks own music with fetus creatures, demons, sword battles. It doesn't look like something that would be a comedy on first glance but you get used to the amount of gore and metalness.
Basically all the members of dethklok are complete morons. They are the most idiotic people in the show, but yet, practically worshipped by everyone else in the show, and this makes for a pretty funny and strange dynamic amongst the characters. Their manager, Offensden constantly has to try and break through their thick skulls just to get them to stop hemorrhaging money or accidentally killing an entire crowd full of people, and yet somehow manages to keep Dethklok a multi billion dollar business empire.
Then there is the tribunal, some kind of secret society that spies on dethklok and fears their power and growing influence, but constantly just lets them do whatever they want. Each of the members of dethklok have their own eccentricities and major flaws, Toki and his shyness and idolization of Skwisgar, who has a love of G-MILFs and loves making Toki feel unworthy, while murderface wallows in self loathing and just being a dick, and nathan has tempers and really really shitty ideas.
The studio that makes this is titmouse so obviously its going to have a lot of the surrealist aspect and sometimes seems like an acid trip. The art is very well done and sometimes just gross, but its all in the name of metal. The soundtrack is amazing, and they perform both in the show and as an actual band thats won a bunch of awards for best metal band, and i must admit it is pretty epic.
Zen 19 January I'm a Johnny-come-lately to this perfectly weird but truly addictive toon for grown ups and now I'm a total fan. The story revolves around the metal band Dethklok, five badass but hilariously stupid dudes who live in Mordland, a fictional place set amongst our non fictional world.
The band is listed as the twelfth largest grossing corporation on the planet or some such thing which puts them square in the cross-hairs of an equally weird but completely deranged group of world leaders who meet in secret to discuss ways to infiltrate the band's realm. What makes it darkly funny is that the guys themselves are oblivious to the nefarious baddies and their evil plan, yet somehow they're able to overcome whatever attempt is made on them by said bad guys while still remaining blissfully clueless.
The dialogue is often coarse and many of the situations Dethklok gets themselves into might offend the very sensitive at heart but this animated series in not for the faint of heart. It's funny, wry, dark and unique. I'd like to mention that the tunes completely rock, melding a heavy driving sound with some bizarro and often comical lyrics.
With names like Nathan Explosion the lead singer whose parents are, in fact, Mr. Explosion, which cracks me up , William Murderface the foul-mouthed, lisping bass guitarist , Pickles the pickled drummer with the seriously bad corn-rowed 'do , Skwisgaar the Swedish lead guitarist who'll boff ANY woman, no matter how old she is and Toki the sweetly dense rhythm guitarist who forever lives in Skwisgaar's shadow. I hope there's going to be many more seasons to come because this animated show is better than the usual offerings out there.
Keep 'em coming! Great show. It has nice jokes, the characters are great, the baby man guys from the band are actually compelling and feel humans they all have BIG flaws besides their ignorance on normal human relationships. What's more, it has great music, black fire upon us, Awaken,and many other great songs, not disney songs, but actual good metal songs. Being Swedish and a former heavy metal guitarist, this is too funny! It's about time someone wrote this story. I've met a lot of metal people with delusions of grandour, so it's pretty accurate.
A metal band with a mix of Americans and Scandinavians is right on the money. This animated series is great, there is the brotherhood of the band, but also the forces they are up against. Total corruption is par for the course; all players of the game are more or less scummy. Our heroes stumble through it all just by being stupid, and I loves its! It's hilarious reading some of these reviews.
Really, this show is an insult to metal? Brendon Small is downing metal? This show is funny, and the music is great. I love the characters and although I agree the violence can be over the top at times, this show wasn't made for kids so who cares. If you want to have a good laugh find the people who gave this show a bad review and go look at the pure crap they gave a good review.
That's what I usually do in order to truly gauge these morons. As far as the show, I give it two thumbs up, but what do I know?
Dumbed down, children's cartoon -- made for adults. Around the age of 8 or 9 years old, something funny happened. I would sit in front of cartoons like Anamaniacs or Tiny Toon adventures and I just couldn't watch them anymore.
I started changing the channel to adult shows or I'd get up and find something else to do. I grew into an adult and my mind simply started to tune out the pointless children's cartoons.
That being said. There's an "animated series" and there's a "children's cartoon". Both are animated with voice acting but the two are completely different.
There really isn't any "plot" to speak of, just lots of simple humor, pointless stunts and wacky gags crammed into a small time slot to keep the kids from wandering off. An "Animated series" is the same as any other T. It's on the intellectual level of an adult. There's a plot, adult situations, action, drama, emotion, humor, suspense etc. It's multifaceted and explores different levels. Metalocalypse is a child's cartoon. Plain and simple. There's just nothing there. The reason the "uncensored DVD" is still being censored is because it's something designed for children to watch There just isn't anything in this show on any kind of adult level.
It's pointless. The "humor" and format are the same you will see in any zippy kids cartoon. Voice acting is terrible. Running gags just aren't there to begin with Every facet is one dimensional and shouldn't be viewed by anyone with an IQ over 75 or so. I love metal and always have. From grind-core and death metal to crossover thrash, classic hardcore and everything in between.
I've always been a long-haired head-banger and my closet is filled with nothing but metal tees I guess maybe that's why this "show" is such a mega disappointment.
I guess they figured that anyone who loves heavy metal has the mindset of a child and is mildly retarded. They thought wrong. As much as I've tried to like this cartoon, I just can't. I'm too old for cartoons I guess. I'm an adult -- not a child. The epic and over-the-top adventures of Dethklok, the world's most successful death metal band.

After the show's cancellation, Small approached Adult Swim with a concept for a mini-series that might give Dethklok the send-off they so rightfully deserved.
Adult Swim balked, and the righteous fandom of metalheads rose up on social media. In , the hashtag "Metalocalypse Now" was born with support from Small. The goal of the online pressure campaign was to encourage Hulu to step in and co-fund a follow-up series entitled Metalocalypse: The Army of the Doomstar — The Final Chapter.
Apparently, financiers did step up to help get the series off the ground, but Adult Swim declined to pick it up via Metal Insider. This came as a bit of a surprise, since the popular late-night comedy block has historically been open to this kind of revival. As Small put it at the time, "Adult Swim doesn't want anyone to have Metalocalypse , not even themselves. Despite Adult Swim's reticence to return to the world of Metalocalypse , that kind of devotion from both fans and creator should tell you that this series is something special.
Whether you're entirely new to the material, or primed for a rewatch, HBO Max has got you covered with the entire series streaming in full. With four seasons spanning 61 episodes and a concept album special entitled "The Doomstar Requiem" that also served as the series finale, there's certainly plenty of Metalocalypse content for a healthy binge.
Part of the show's appeal has always been its intersection with the metal scene IRL — a subculture that has never lacked for self-awareness.
