Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Dethklok is both a virtual death metal band featured in the animated program Metalocalpse,created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, and the virtual band created to perform the band'smusic in live shows. The band is sometimes cited as an example of "comedy rock" on par with bands such as GWAR andSpinal Tap. Metalocalypse centers on the exploits of the biggest, most metal-est band in the world, Dethklok.As the band goes about their daily affairs, the evil (well, more evil) Tribunal tries in vain to stopDethklok from expanding their empire. Each episode features a new song from the band - and now the best of those tracks have beenexpanded, re-recorded and put together with all new songs to make the Dethklok album fans havebeen clamoring for.
Amazon.com:
There's a fine line between being funny and being a joke. Thankfully, the debut album from Dethklok, the band at the core of Adult Swim's hit animated series Metalocalypse lands squarely in the former category. Performed by series co-creator Brendon Small (Tommy Blacha is Small's creative partner)--with a lot of help from metal drum legend Gene Hoglan (Death Angel, Strapping Young Lad)--songs such as "Birthday Dethday," "Face Fisted," and "Awaken" tap into the unapologetic musical brutality of death metal, while highlighting the often confusing ambiguity of the genre's lyrics. Progressive taxes ("Detharmonic"), the disappointment and seemingly endless cycle of higher education ("Go Forth and Die"), and the obligatory kiss-off to moist-palmed computer geeks who spew vitriol from the safety of Internet chat rooms ("Fansong"), provide the fodder for Small's hilarious, subtle, intelligent and highly quotable lyrics. Make no mistake: The Dethalbum isn't going to supplant your favorite At the Gates or Slayer recordings, but it will provide hours of amusement and joy--perhaps the very enemy of death metal itself, perhaps the very thing that makes Metalocalypse one of the funniest shows on cartoon TV these days and Dethklok the truest rock band since Spinal Tap. --Jedd Beaudoin
