Metalocalypse

Metalocalypse is an animated series aired on Adult Swim. It was created by Brendan Small and Tommy Blacha. It is described as a mixture between “Spinal Tap with Scooby Doo and Norway”. Metalocalypse follows the adventures of a Metal band called “Dethklok”. Although the name of the band is usually written as "Dethklok",most of their band logos are written as "Dethkløk". Their popularity is incredible. They are known as the “twelfth largest economy in the World”. So popular are they that their fans would do anything their songs said, even if it means death. For example, if they support a commercial brand, that means that it becomes the most popular in the market. Their supernatural popularity has drawn the attention of a group known as “The Tribunal”. Each episode shows an attempt of this group to destroy the band. Deathklok’s concerts are notoriously violent. Most of the time their fans end up hurt or dead. Even their charity deeds end up with lots of deaths like when a laser beam show killed the entire London Philarmonic Orchestra. Frequently, the series has various famous musicians sharing their voice for the show such as James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Jeff Loomis, Steve Smyth, and Warrel Dane of Nevermore, Arch Enemy’s guitarist Michael Amott, Canibal Corpse’s singer George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. Besides, each episode shows various references to other metal bands in the real world. Being these references shown as places, names or the characters’ behaviour.
