Dethklok has a true talent for creating the most death-defying music, making them the undisputed greatest metal band in the galaxy. Unfortunately for Nathan Explosion, William Murderface, Skwisgaar Swigelf, Toki Wartooth and Pickles, that�s about all they can do, period. In the new episodes that begin in May, Dethklok its hand at public relations, the dating game and wedding registries.
In fall 2007, a real-life version of Dethklok, led by co-creator Brendon Small, embarked on a national tour, playing at college campuses around the United States. The college tour heralded the release of the hugely successful album The Dethalbum. The album features songs written and performed by Small from the first season of Metalocalypse, and it debuted at #21 on the Billboard Top 200 as the highest-charting death metal album of all time. Dethklok will embark on its second nationwide tour this summer when Adult Swim Presents Metalocalype�s Dethklok kicks-off on June 2 and travels to 28 cities.
