Metalocalypse is a strangely addictive show. It delivers the witty humor of other Small shows such as Home Movies, while bringing a brand new premise to the adult swim network: Metal. The band the show focuses on can easily be described as the modern animated Spinal Tap: A pampered and powdered rock band with a heart of black, trying to make it in the world of Metal and convert all to be Metal.

Members of the band Deathklok are lovable for their antics and hilarious one liners like when the guitarist, Skwisgaar Skwigelf Taller Than a Tree refers to a grocery store as a "food library". The only complaint this user has to offer is the bit toilet humor parts of the show, though they are rare. For more Metal, go to adultswim. You will not be sorry.

The members of Dethklok tend to cause disaster wherever they travel, and anything remotely associated with them likewise attracts chaos.

Dethklok concerts are so notoriously dangerous that those attending are required to sign "pain waivers" at the entrance, releasing the band from legal liability in the very likely case attendees are killed or maimed. The band is shown to have a callous disregard for their fans' safety, as shown in the first episode where they pour scalding hot coffee over concertgoers.

The band's popularity is such that impressionable fans will do anything for them, even if that means death, which is usually the case. In the episode "Dethgov", fans of Dethklok lynch the governor of Florida after he refuses to establish a holiday for lead singer Nathan Explosion to be named "Nathan Explosion Day" , whom they then proceed to elect governor in a landslide write-in victory. The band's unnatural popularity and trail of destruction has attracted the attention of an Illuminati-style group, known as The Tribunal , dedicated to monitoring Dethklok's activity and plans.

Typically, episodes involve the Tribunal attempting to maintain and perpetuate public ignorance and rampant consumerism whenever Dethklok's antics inadvertently threaten to upset the status quo. The Tribunal, led by a mysterious character named "Mr. Salacia", works off the premise that Dethklok's unusual powers are the result of an ancient Sumerian prophecy about an "Apocalypse of Metal". General Crozier, the military leader in the group, appears to desire either the death of the band's members or the dismantlement of the band itself, but Mr.

Salacia consistently overrules him to prevent this from happening. Most episodes show the Tribunal attempting to covertly thwart the band by calling in various "specialists", such as "military pharmaceutical psychotropic drug manufacturers", "celebrity depression experts", or various legally compromised characters who attempt to infiltrate the group.

A running gag is that, whenever characters swear, a guitar note plays instead of a conventional censor. Brendon Small 's show Home Movies ended its run in , which freed Small to spend time with writer friend Tommy Blacha. They went to metal shows around the same time they were both trying to pitch shows to different networks.

This was how they came up with the idea of doing a show about a metal band that was vastly more popular than The Beatles had been. They came up with the storyline, wrote a theme song and had friend Jon Schnepp design the characters. The series was originally called Deathclock , but the name could not be used due to an existing trademark. The show and the main characters' band were then renamed Dethklok. The show's title was then extended to Dethklok Metalocalypse , although the starring band still retained the name Dethklok.

The title was finally shortened to Metalocalypse because the extended show title was too complicated.
