With the twelfth largest economy in the world, (bigger than Mexico or Canada, depending who you ask), Dethklok live in an upside-down dragon boat 100 stories tall in Mordland, USA. They travel in giant trains replete with jacuzzis, suffer fatalities of fans and band members at their shows, and accidentally summon Finnish lake trolls. They're also cartoons with a Wikipedia entry twice as long as Iron Maiden's.
While they've already brought planet Earth down to its knees by virtue of their music's brutality, their new album is the first to hit the un-animated world. [adult swim] will unleash Dethalbum September 25.
In 2004, Metalocalypse founder Brendon Small (and music composer for all the tracks included on Dethklok's upcoming Dethalbum) told Maelstrom,
We’re actually excited about how the music is turning out. It’s brutal when it wants to be, and melodic when it wants to be… Also keep in mind this is NOT glam metal, these guys don’t look that way. They smell bad. They’ve not changed their jeans in four months… Another thing is, we’re not making fun of metal, but celebrity culture. We love metal, and feel protective of it, as any fan should. But the funny thing about celebrities is that we tend to worship people who cause bad things to happen.
