I know it's just a joke album, but I like themMaybe they just confused me by mixing violence and type of metal I don't usually listen to.
Hell Yeah, sometimes joke albums are amazing. I mean lest us forget SOD. Those 2 albums are fucking awesome. Oh yeah, and every Pantera album too... Those were great joke albums.
I think Metalocalypse is cool. I'm pretty sure the people who hate this show hate it for the sole reason of it being popular. Oh well.

What is the appeal of this cartoon? I have watched two episodes and it's just not very good. The last one I saw was the episode where they bust people for downloading... There was so much potential there and it just went nowhere... Then there was the episode where they went to the porn awards... That was better but not by much. Surely I'm not the only one that didn't find much enertainment value in that cartoon?

Well, like I said I couldn't find much entertainment there...
And I'm not one of the elitist old school metal fans, so hopefully you didn't get that impression. I guess this similar to the popularity of Spinal Tap and Beavis and Butthead which were more from my generation...

I watched the episode where they attempt comedy last night. Wasn't funny.
EDIT: That sounds kinds of weird but there is an actual episode where Dethklok attempts stand up comedy

the newest episode was not very good! thats the one where Toki takes guitar lessons. my favorite one is when they adopt the kid, "he ate my civil war shoes!"
the dethalbum isnt that bad, i didnt like how they use those short spurtted riffs with like 4 notes on almost every song, and i thought they tried to hard to work in the original mermaider clip into that track.

Saw this CD in the store today. They had like 20 copies. I very seriously considered buying it but decided against it. I was already picking up a bunch of Rammstein, figured I didn't need an endless supply of new CDs.

"2. DETHKLOK Tour Dates Announced...and What Is DETHKLOK Anyway?
For those who know what this is all about, here are the tour dates right off the bat. (For those who don't, keep reading past the dates.)
Dethklok Tour
(tour to promote Cartoon Network show Metalocalypse)
Brendon Small - guitar
Mike Keneally - guitar
Bryan Beller - bass
Gene Hoglan - drums
[Tour dates - d'oh! I had to take these down because they weren't "officially released" yet...they'll be back as soon as that status is reached. Sorry about that! - BB, 10/11/07]
What is Dethklok?
In a world...where there is one undisputed, most popular, most powerful, most deadly heavy metal band in the universe...one animated man with a large mustache will play bass...and another man will attempt to imitate him...and that man is me.
OK, here's the scoop on this Dethklok business. There's an animated show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim program called Metalocalypse. The premise is that one heavy metal band is the most powerful force in the world - commercially, culturally, you name it - and that band is called Dethklok. The members of the band are Nathan Explosion (lead vocals/brutal visionary), Skwisgaar Skwigelf (fastest guitarist alive, from Sweden), Toki Wartooth (2nd fastest guitarist alive), William Murderface (bassist/filled with ultimate hatred), and Pickles The Drummer (from the Midwest). Metalocalypse is essentially a show about their lives and how they go about being in Dethklok on a daily basis, and it contains real heavy metal music by the "band". So it's an animated...parody...reality...music...sitcom. Call it Spinal Tap meets The Ozzy Osbourne Show meets The Monkees meets Beavis and Butthead. Or something.
Anyway, the show's co-creator, Brendon Small, is a friend and fan of Mike Keneally. I first met him before the show ever aired, at a Keneally show, and he told me about it. I laughed just at the premise of it. Sure enough, the show's a hit, so much so that there's now a real Dethklok album (The DethAlbum, sitting at 21 on the Billboard charts!), a first season Metalocalypse DVD, and...wait for it...a tour with real-live musicians to promote the second season, now airing as premiere episodes.
The record was done almost entirely by Brendon, who for my money is a damned good guitarist and songwriter. You can tell he really loves and gets heavy metal old and new, and some of the riffs are downright HEAVY. (I heard Metallica, Judas Priest, Meshuggah, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and other deadly influences in just 12 songs.) For extra street cred and massive metal groove, he got Gene Hoglan of Strapping Young Lad and other huge metal acts to play drums on the album. I am a huuuuuuge Strapping Young Lad fan and Gene is one of my heroes. So who's going to play second guitar and bass? Why, none other than Mike Keneally and myself, respectively.
I can tell you that I've always, always wanted to be in a metal band, and at one point I knew the entire Metallica catalog (up to the Black Album). I even developed special finger techniques, specifically so I could play thrash grooves on "Battery" and "Damage, Inc." without having to use a pick (which I still don't). So this is a real dream come true for me, and it's going to be a challenge and tremendous fun. Keneally and I are going back to metal school; Gene is a one-man metal machine, the real ringer in the band; and Brendon will be playing and "singing" in full-on cookie-monster mode. My fingers are tired from galloping already.
We'll be playing along with a huge video screen, in an extended episode of the show. I don't know how it's all going to work out, but it's going to be fun no matter what. And the shows are FREE, on college campuses throughout the west and midwest (sorry, east coasters!). If you're anywhere nearby, you've got to see what it's all about.

If you'd only read the post that you're responding to, you would know the answer.
