Product Description: There's a fine line between being funny and being a joke. Thankfully, the debut album from Dethklok, the band at the core of Adult Swim's hit animated series Metalocalypse lands squarely in the former category. Performed by series co-creator Brendon Small (Tommy Blacha is Small's creative partner)--with a lot of help from metal drum legend Gene Hoglan (Death Angel, Strapping Young Lad)--songs such as "Birthday Dethday," "Face Fisted," and "Awaken" tap into the unapologetic musical brutality of death metal, while highlighting the often confusing ambiguity of the genre's lyrics. Progressive taxes ("Detharmonic"), the disappointment and seemingly endless cycle of higher education ("Go Forth and Die"), and the obligatory kiss-off to moist-palmed computer geeks who spew vitriol from the safety of Internet chat rooms ("Fansong"), provide the fodder for Small's hilarious, subtle, intelligent and highly quotable lyrics. Make no mistake: The Dethalbum isn't going to supplant your favorite At the Gates or Slayer recordings, but it will provide hours of amusement and joy--perhaps the very enemy of death metal itself, perhaps the very thing that makes Metalocalypse one of the funniest shows on cartoon TV these days and Dethklok the truest rock band since Spinal Tap. --Jedd Beaudoin

Customer Reviews
There's something that I love about this CD:
I was just listening to this again after finding it in my CD collection and I can't wait for a sequel even if it's just a CD only and I've heard that they may be working on a followup, in my opinion this is some of the best death metal that I've ever heard, the guitar runs are incredible in spots and I love that sort of gutteral growl that the lyricist does. This is comparable to the CD Demigod by Behemoth. But this is a chunkier sounding version.

Excellently Executed... especially for a joke.
While Dethklok may be an imaginary band made up of two people, you wouldn't know it listening to this album. All the instruments are played with such precision that the only real hint that this is not a real band would be in the lyrics. Regardless, this album is an excellent listen. Melodic lead guitar harmonies, excellent riffs, and all around fun. I definitely recommend picking this album up if you are a fan of metal at all. I also recommend checking out Metalockalypse on Adult Swim if you haven't seen it already... it is a wildly entertaining show.

Parody and homage rolled nicely into one
Sounds for the most part like Jesse Ventura rockin the mic, backed by Queen circa "Flash Gordon."
"Dethalbum" is really more prog than deth muddle, with a slathering of theatrics a la Panic at the Disco or GWAR. "Fansong" actually sounds kind of like RHCP's "Fight Like a Brave," so the influences seem to be all over the map. Must be why me likey!
Too bad the show blows like the winds froum uranus.

Sweet album... missed some songs though
I absolutly love the Metalocolypse show. I feel like it was made especially for me. The album is freakin' great! The only thing I didn't like was that some of the songs that I wanted weren't on the regular CD, only on the Deluxe edition. bummer. I didn't realize this until after I opened it, otherwise I would've gone for the "red" version. Murderface!
