IT'S BRUUUTAL!! (Metalocalypse Thread)

amateurhour

So there's this Band... CALLED DETHKLOK

Spoiler:

And they're the greatest band on earth, and the world's 12th largest economy, and they play the best music and lot's and lots of people die.

Here are the members...

Nathan Explosion: The lead singer and most brutal singer in the universe

Skwisgaar Skwigelf: The world's fastest guitarist. Enough said

Toki Wartooth: Not an original member of the band, but the most hardcore once he gets pissed off.

Pickles: The drummer. Used to play for snakes n barrels before they got clean, then died horribly from an OD on some LSD that created hallucinations that killed their audience

William Murderface: The bassist. He can play the bass with his penis....

This show comes on Sundays on Adult Swim after Venture Bros.

Discuss how awesome it is...

edit:

The new season is shaping up to be as good as the last two. The best part of the premiere was...

Spoiler:

Toki's endangered species room, complete with giant sea tortoise, panda rugs, and a condor bottle opener

Golden Yak

I liked the Scream Activated Interior Lighting.

"You come home, it's dark, where are my keys?

WAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Over there."

You left out the part where Pickles took the stuff too and was totally unaffected.

Nah, the best part was

Spoiler:

when Ofdensen suddenly reappears in the band's darkest hour. It was like a miracle!

I'll agree with that actually. What makes the show good is that it's positively, never gonna happen unbelievable. The idea of the band losing all of their money and becoming washed up nobodies or signing a new contract would have pissed me off. I like that there are two forces trying to destroy the world, Ofdensen is trying to manage that, and the band just gets to be the band, and do wacky stuff

Delzhand

I really didn't like season 2 as much as the first one. It seemed like it relied too much on gore for gore's sake, and really abused the "whole band talking at once and not listening to each other" gag.

Talleyrand

So I take it I'm gonna have to wait another week for this to be released on their website.

Cantido

Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. SEASON 3 ALREADY?

Holy shit.

Visti

So, man.

Small really bammed the vocals up a couple of notches in the new music, huh?

DasUberEdward

Ofdensen is really one of the best characters.

And yes Nathan Explosion has been taking vocal lessons. I am fine with that.

kdrudy

Is this the first time they showed the original 2nd guitarist? I wonder if that means he'll show up this season at some point.

emnmnme

So what is the evil cabal of leaders trying to do? Rule the world or destroy the band?

Black Fire Upon Us

Visti

Haha, that is ridiculous. They're so far beyond parody that they're actually just a pretty good melodic death band now. Except with awesome lyrics.

YamiNoSenshi

Yeah, that's actually pretty good. I'd listen to that as music outside the context of the show.

Psychotic One

This season should be utterly great. Besides the two great scenes already mentioned my favorite was

Spoiler:

Nathan WTF Punching the record exec for the second time in the show

They haven't made the motives of those guys clear for two seasons so far. All they do is 'watch.' I think that's part of the joke.

And that guy Saletcia gets a cooler chair every season.

show

Cantido

Oh GOD YES. I'm getting caught up on Adult Swim.com, and they have a season 3 episode up. It seems they're fleshing out an record label. This is the EXACT direction I wanted Metalocalypse to go.

Delzhand

Oh, man. If episode 3:1 is any indication, the show is getting back to what made season 1 awesome.

Captain Tragedy

Awesome premiere.

I'm glad they've finally gone to half-hour shows; too often it seemed liked they really had to rush to get everything crammed into 15 minutes.

UEAKCrash

I almost made this thread the other day.

I loves this show.

Dethklok puts on a kick ass show, might I add. I almost broke my nose and got my earplugs knocked out of my head. Brruuuttal.

The song they "featured" in the season premiere sounded pretty bad ass, as well. The vocals were different from how he normally screams, but it's pretty kick ass.

Spoiler:

I love how they were listing of their official sounding manager titles and how Toki was sad about being stuck doing snacks. Toki is by far my favorite character.

BloodySloth

"This is so fucking expensive it makes me horny"

What an awesome premier.

Vee

I loved the way Toki was trying to cook food as the snack manager. He's my favorite <3

ProPatriaMori

Second season seemed to kind of fall flat for me and I lost track. Picked up with the last episode from last season (which I enjoyed) and this premier. Sweet.

UEAKCrash

Also, I might add that my wife and I are fluent in Toki and have a habit of going into the voice to each other daily. We call pop-sickles pops-cockles and when my wife has a problem she says "Whys everythings has to be so hards fors the Tokis?"

That means I win.

Also, OP you spelled Dethklok wrong, you shameful person.

hesthefastest

This thread could really use some more zaz.

UEAKCrash

Yeah, how about we zazz it up a bit.

Cantido

Got any room for any more zazz in here?

Dissociater

I got to see Dethklok (with Mastodon) live two weeks ago. Man it was so awesome. The highlight was watching Small have a conversation with himself in all the voices.

I love Dethalbum II. It's kind of dials back on the funny, but amps up the BRUTAL!

I'm usually not a fan of sequel songs, but Murmaider II is like my favorite song right now.

My only regret is that I live in Canada and don't get Adult Swim, so I have to find other ways to watch Metalocalypse episodes.

polloface

Gonna guess you went to the Detroit show, I was there too.

And yeah, this and venture makes my Sunday nights my favorite now.

Dissociater

Toronto show actually, being in Canada and all

Oct 23, so I guess a bit more than two weeks ago. So much fun.

polloface

Ahh ok, diddn't know they went up there, must have been right after my show a few weeks ago.

Too bad I went for the cartoon band and not the real band that put me to sleep.

I am not hardcore at all.

Dissociater

I was actually looking for Mastodon shows, and then I saw that they were the opening band, and holy crap, they're opening for Dethklok!? I bought tickets so fast.

unknownsome1

I enjoy watching this show. The songs are pretty cool and the season premier was one of the funniest episodes.

JustinSane07

I've said this before but I'm a little dissapointed in Dethalbum II. It's a lot more thrashy than what I like. Murmaider II is the best song on the album because it resembles the style of music on Dethalbum so much better.

It took me some getting used to, that's for sure. It is a lot thrashier, but there are some gems in there. My biggest disappointment with it was that I didn't find it as funny as the first album. But musically, it can stand on its own, and I generally don't really like Death Metal.

Spoiler:

manager's return was epic.

"You boys got a show to do. Don't worry, i'll be right here when you're done. I'm gunna have a little meeting with these guys."

*Cue terrified looks on the recording executive's faces.*

FUCK. YES.

Dude's like the Gandalf of metal, coming back like that.

Really? Second season was much better for me. I did, however, still love Season 1.

Captain Vash

I think proper introduction for the band is thus:

Skwisgaar Skwigelf, taller than a tree

Toki Wartooth, not a bumblebee

William Murderface Murderface Murderface Murderface

Pickles, the drummer, doodily doodily doodily doo

Nathan Explosion.

Except the order, I think that's right, too.
