Dethklok is the undisputed greatest animated metal band in the galaxy. Created by Brendan Small and Tommy Blacha, their crusades into darkness have been immortalized in Metalocalypse, the animated series available on Adult Swim. This college tour marks the band's most epic journey where they shall emerge from the brackish pits of darkness to wipe the blood from their mighty axes.

Formed by Keely and Reece in 1994, Trail of Dead has delivered 5 albums since and has toured the world extensively, winning over fans with its guitar-laden anthems. With each album, a new generation joins the ever-growing legion of fans across the globe. The band's most recent album, SO DIVIDED, is available at iTunes, Emusic (along with other online outlets) and in stores nationwide.
