Synopsis

Part-American, part-Scandinavian death-metal band Dethklok has a lingering effect on its fans, who take the words seriously and do anything Dethklok lyrics say. The government fears the band's influence and sets out to destroy it by covert means; for example, by sending military pharmaceutical psychotropic drug manufacturers. Deemed sociopaths for tossing hot coffee at their concert attendees, two of the band members are alcoholics, and they all have self-esteem issues.

Bereamic Awesome Movie
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Smoreni Zmaj I just finished the first season of the animated series Metalocalypse. It has 63 episodes in a total duration of around 12 hours. Episodes last only for about ten minutes, but I think it's better not to watch them too many at once. I watch one per day, usually during a morning coffee, so that my day starts with metal and laughter.Series follows the adventures of the band Dethklok, the most popular death metal band of all time, a band that is so popular that it is one of the strongest economies in the world and has such an army of fans that it has a serious impact on world politics. Members of this band are five completely different personalities representing caricatures of "typical" rock stars. As much as they are successful as a band, that much everything they touch goes berserk and ends with a total disaster from which only the band gets out without major consequences. Show is satire of western civilization, modern politics and consumer society, as well as the prejudice of metalheads.The animation is pretty good, the music and lyrics are excellent, story has a fast pace, a lot of black humor and it's extremely brutal and gore. And the opening theme has immediately entered the very top of my favorites and is one of the few that I do not skip even though I saw it so many times that I know it by heart.8/10
Ahmed Ezzeldine I've seen so far all the seasons and episodes and I love it, as Nathan says "It's so brutal!"; the animation quality isn't what we see today. but the characters and story is amazing! The songs is catchy and amazing, also brutal.This is no show for children's of course, but this is a show for brutal people and men. I love how dangerous they're just being one of the most popular band and the government want to end them because that. Like at one of the episodes so does the government and Dethklok fight and that was just amazing, so much happened and I was cheering for Dethklok.It's been a while sense I've seen it, so I don't remember how it ended that well, but I remember all the references and quotes.This series even did name most of the restaurants after bands or just did some funny pun in them and I love that. There's a lot of little details you can't see that easily, but once you do, you'll love this series even more.
Aaron1375 Yes, this short eleven minute cartoon can be found during adult swim on the cartoon network. Yes, adult swim has Family Guy and American Dad which both first air on fox and a bunch of cartoons that they themselves. This one and Venture Brothers are my favorites, while some of them are just okay like Stroker and Hoop and Aqua Teen Hugar Force. Then there are those that just suck like Asse Mcgee and The Drinky Crow Show. This one follows the exploits of a metal band named Dethklok, a more metal band you have never seen. Made up of a wild assortment of characters which includes Nathan Explosion the lead singer, Pickles on drums, the bassist Murderface and the two foreign born guitar rockers Tokki and I think Lars. Not sure about the last name. The show is very funny as the guys in the band are so dense, yet the government deems them enough of a threat to keep constant tabs on them and try plan after plan to foil the metal band. Meanwhile, the band shows they have very little smarts as they are completely lost in a grocery store when their chef gets mangled in a slight mishap, they try to rid themselves of sickness by reading a book of tenth century remedies, and embezzle from themselves. If that is not enough they have other people come in and also add to the complications of their billionaire lifestyle like Rockso the rock and roll clown who does cocaine, or the doctor hired to perform therapy on them and their own fans on a very memorable episode. So for the most heavy metal band ever look no further than Dethklok who even starred in their own movie "Blood Ocean".
djillmattek I love Dethklok so much, i'd sign a "Pain Waver"......This is absolutely the funniest animation series I've ever seen and with some of the greatest metal i've ever heard. I hope this series becomes a mainstay of the Adult Swim lineup just like "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" or "Venture Brothers". I must also congratulate the creators on creating a show which in my opinion, is a TRIBUTE to the world of Metal. Their knowledge of comedy and music is absolutely flawless and it shines in each and every one of the episodes of Metalocalypse like the blackest sun, blacker than the blackest black.. If you enjoy Metal of any form, then you'll more than likely enjoy watching this awesome show.
