Dethklok
Metalocalypse (Promo)
2006
Leaving me wanting more: 8/10
Overall: 9/10
This is some metal shit. The promo CD that I found for a buck contains the songs from the first four episodes of the cartoon, Metalocalypse, based around the incredible animated death metal band, Dethklok.
These four songs are awesome and, at times, hilarious. A death metal jingle for a coffee company? I've been meaning to write this for years, I just now realized it, though.
Eight years ago, this is the type of cartoon I would've found on Ebaum's world. The whole world can get their creativity out there, no matter how broke they are. As long as you've got an internet connection and access to some software. I'm sure there's some shit coming of this type of production, but it has to be worth it. For every fine artistic vision like Metalocalypse, I'm sure there's a hundred turds, stinking up the mailbox of Adult Swim's submissions mailbox.
In addition to being superb, Metalocalypse is also amazingly easy to watch; all five episodes are now availabe for viewing on the Adult Swim website. Plus, a couple hilarious interviews with the show's creator, Brendan Small.
Thank god for Dethklok, they even include their metal pals—cameos from members of Metallica, Arch Enemy, Nevermore, and King-fucking-Diamond. Too bad these five tracks come in at only seven minutes, I need some more.
