If you ever have a chance to see Dethklok live, go for it!
I know some of you are thinking “What’s a Dethklok?” Allow me to explain… It is a band from Adult Swim’s animated show, Metalocalypse. So we were essentially going to see animated characters put on a black metal show! The TV show started out poking fun of metal, and that’s one reason I liked it so much. I’m not a huge fan of the genre but I liked the show. They tend to only do small bits of songs in the show but for the Dethklok album and tour, they put together full length songs complete with music videos. These music videos would play behind an actual band, which included show creator and voice actor, Brendan Smalls. I enjoyed seeing this seemingly normal guy belt out lyrics in a deep, scary voice.
There were opening bands that I didn’t care for as much but maybe that’s because I couldn’t watch cartoons during those bands? Most likely. Mosh pits ended up randomly forming while Dethklok performed, even when we weren’t close to the stage. Definitely a fun show.
While I’m on the subject of Adult Swim shows, be sure to watch Fat Guy Stuck in Internet premiering June 16th at 12:15am! It’s Gamberling’s latest show. I know him mostly from MC Chris album skits. The show itself is not animated but here is an animated plug that MC Chris made.
