Synopsis

Metalocalypse is an American animated television series, created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, which premiered on August 6, 2006 on Adult Swim. The television program centers around the larger than life death metal band Dethklok, and often portrays dark and macabre content, including such subjects as violence, death, and the drawbacks of fame, with extremely hyperbolic black humor; which accounts for the cartoon's consistent TV-MA rating. The show can be seen as both a parody and celebration of heavy metal culture. The music, written by guitarist/creator Brendon Small, is credited to the band, and is featured in most of the episodes. The animation is often carefully synced to the music, with the chord positions and fingering of the guitar parts shown in some detail. One of the trademarks of the show is having the usual "bleeps" for extreme profanity replaced by pinch harmonics.

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.
DJAkin I resisted the urge to see this for a long time but now that I have - I love it. Murderface is my favorite character. Nathan Explosion is pretty cool also. I am a huge fan of death metal and I can relate to a lot of the subtle humor in this cartoon. Non Metal Heads might not like this as much as I do. My friend Jake hates it. I have to agree with Jake on one aspect of this series. It's very irritating when there is a cuss word bleeped out by the sound of a feed back guitar. I never noticed that until Jake told me. Now I can't STOP noticing it. Damn you Jake! Also - my favorite is Dr. Rockso who does cocaine. Every single aspect of this rock and roll clown is how he does cocaine and was forced to be a loser. Great series.
ahouser-541-321352 OK, I registered with IMDb solely to offer this critic and this is my very first review on IMDb, which and I must say I was inspired to write because of the few negative comments it has received. Normally, I would understand a few negative reviews about a TV show because we all have a different perspective in life and inevitably someone is just not going to like a particular series, but Metalocalypse deserves the highest of ratings! It is ground breaking and original and I was hooked from the very first traumatic viewing of this brutal kidney punch. Of the things that impress me most is Brendon Small's ability to go from the cute and cuddly (and hilarious) Home Movies to Metalocalypse without skipping a beat, pun intended, and pull off one of the most intense, morbid, creative and funny cartoons in Adult Swims' history. This show is for anybody who loves metal and for anybody who hates metal and everyone in-be-teen. The characters have been developed nicely with devotion to back story and that f*@king clown is a nose bleed! G-G-G-G-yaaahh! To the point of this review, if you do not like this show, you are either an up tight republican (see General Crozier) or an imagination invalid who takes themselves and or their music way to seriously. Come on folks, Death Metal is at it's base nihalistic and there is nothing funnier than the destrucion of reality (with the right twist). Dethklok is in all of us and if we can't laugh at ourselves then, well, we will just have to laugh at you! Grow a sense of humor. Love the show guys!! Lets see season 3.
WAKEnSHAKE I watched the first episode with skepticism. After seeing other adult swim projects flounder and become unwatchable relatively fast ( minoriteam, squidbillies, etc.) I honestly thought this would be another dud. Nothing could be further from the truth. This show is friggin hysterical, dark and cool as hell. Now, I will admit some of the episodes are a tad bit disturbing in terms of gore and brutality but the visual hyperbole that comes with every episode isn't meant to offend the people who watch, but instead is meant to add to the mythology and folklore surrounding the most brutal metal band in the history of existence. The most constant theme of the show is that metal is dark and brutal and therefore disturbing imagery is a must. I for one am not offended and find the darkness of the episodes appropriate. Having seen every episode sevenfold, I will say that this show has rekindled my prior love of metal while simeltaneously making me laugh my ass off at the bands antics. My personal favorite episodes are the last 4 on cd 2 of the DVD's- Dethclown, Girlfriendklok, Dethstars and it has begun...- All embody the darkness and comedy that comprise this show. [ Also see snakes and barrels and bluesklok] Look, to be frank, some people will toss their cookies after watching this show. However, I think the vast majority of people who watch will find this show disturbingly amusing and will become addicted after a relatively short time.
