   I started watching this show on the Adult Swim website & I was hooked. The story surrounds the world’s biggest band Dethklok, which is also one of the world’s most valuable resources. The band is composed of spoiled & selfish band members that, despite traveling all over the world, are completely out of touch with the outside world. Most of the story covers parts of each band member’s life or past, as well as their struggles to do things that ordinary people do (such as grocery shopping). An overlying story arc is of a mysterious group of world leaders that secretly watch the band, worried that they might fulfill an ancient Sumerian prophecy of an apocalypse.

   While the show is predominantly aimed towards men aged 16-30, it’s humor, animation, & great storylines appeal to a female audience as well. One of the great in-jokes of the series is the name dropping of metal bands or music product names into the series as background names. If you like Robot Chicken, ATHF, or Venture Bros, you are sure to like this series.

   Metalocalypse… I shouldn’t really have to say more but I’d love to anyway. I was channel surfing one night and came across the best show Adult Swim has to offer, and changed the channel. It was halfway through the episode and I didn’t know what was going on. Later, a buddy of mine told me to watch it. We watched Dethwater and I was hooked. This show is great for any fan Metal fan or not. Now I have introduced to a lot of my friends. Even ones that can’t stand heavy metal, and they can attest to the greatness of this show. Five friggin stars. Anyone, who’s already a fan of Adult Swim shows, should have no problem getting quickly attached to this show. Squizgar Squigelf Taller than a Tree, Toki Wartooth not a bumble be, William Murderface, Murderface, Murderface, Pickles the Drummer doodlie doo, ding dong doodlie doo… Nathan Explosion.
