Info

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.

Metalocalypse Audience Reviews

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
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.
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.
starbug_56 ... to love this show! My husband and I are a couple of old rockers (WAY past 18), and have been devouring the first-season episodes on DVD. And you don't have to be a metal-head either. If you don't get the inside jokes right away (like burger joints named for metal bands,) you can Google them and figure them out pretty quickly.Metalocalypse is crude, violent, scatological, and brutally hilarious. Sometimes it's also deeply disturbing, in precisely the way that art is supposed to shake you up. It's also full of commentary about the manipulation of popular culture; the Tribunal's concerns are no surprise to anyone who has, so to speak, taken the red pill. And, the five main characters and the regular supporting characters go through more development during the season than you'd expect from the cast of a live-action TV show. For fellow aficionados of Brendon Small and Home Movies: You already know that Brendon Small is an amazing musician and songwriter. If you haven't seen Metalocalypse yet, be prepared to view Brendon on a whole new stage. (Think of egocentric Dethklok guitarist Skwisgaar Skwigelf as a grown-up, Swedish version of Home Movies' sarcastic teen guitar snob Jimmy Monet.) Can't wait to see the second season. Brutal!
CCR-7 Metalocalypse is one of the funniest shows on television today. It offers hilarious over exaggerations of people working in Metal. Each character has a distinct personality evident throughout the show. You really get to know these characters as if they were real. The overall art of the show is very different from most cartoons, and is interesting to watch. The way characters relate and react offers the most comedy, such as Toki's various misuses of sexual terms to mean common things. Your guaranteed to relate to at least one of the characters, and it makes them almost real. It's much more than joke after joke, the comedy is in the way it reflects the music industry, different types of people, and stereotypes of metalheads into a surprisingly insightful, but still brutal and funny show.
