Dethklok - Metalocalypse Band

[Fairweather Pure]

Here is the Wiki on Metalocalypse, for those that do not know anything about the show.

I have got to say that this album (The Dethalbum), which is practially parody, is better than the majority of the music that it is suppossed to be poking fun at. It's heavy/Deth metal, but the lyrics and riffs are really damn good. It reminds me of old Metallica, circa Master of Puppets era. Everything they play is complex, with some over the top epic songs thrown in there. So, it's kind of silly, but it's also just damn good heavy metal. It's tough to remember this is from a cartoon made to parody heavy metal bands.

I don't mind the song of theirs that is on Guitar hero (2 I think).

Edit: It's called thunderhorse.

I'd say it's damn good music in its own right, parody or not. Yeah, the vocals are death metal, but it's different from most death metal bands. The lyrics are easily discerned (and they're usually awesome). Shit, the first 1:30 of Go Into the Water is one of the best song intros ever.

I've had this album on repeat all weekend at work, it's awesome and I totally agree with you. The music is great, and the vocals are humorous, which I find to be way better than the standard death metal fare. Highly recommended if you like the music in death metal, but not the vocals. Which is usually the case for me.

Second album is due out some time this year. Brendan Small said it will make the first release sound like a love soacked pop album! You can hear the tracks if you're watching the second season of the show.

There's a link to him playing Thunderhorse, a track that is playable on Guitar Hero 2.

Here's one of him "teaching" the Deththeme.

His cartoons (Home Movies, Metalocalypse) are great too. This guy has talent in spades!

For some reason, I've been playing the shit out of the first album lately. It's got some great bass and riffs. It's a little scary to play at really loud levels though. People think I'm worshipping the devil.

"Birthday Dethday"

Many years ago today something grew
inside of your mother...
That thing was you

YOU

YOU YOU YOU YOU

Did she scream did she cry
Only those that are born are the ones that
Get to die

One more year closer to dying
Rotting organs ripping grinding
Biological discordance
Birthday equals self abhorrence

Years keep passing aging always
Mutate into vapid slugs
Doctor gives a new perscription
Bullet in a fucking gun

One more year closer to dying
Plastic surgeons fuel the lying
You forget why you came in here
Your mind rots with every New Year

RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

Happy Birthday
You're gonna die

Now you're old and full of hatred
Take a pill to masturbatred
Children point to you and scream
Because they will become that thing

One more year of further suffering
There's no point of fucking bluffing
Open up your DETHDAY present
It's a box of fucking nothing

RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY
DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY

RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

Happy Birthday
You're gonna die

Ha, I love it!
