Brendon Small, frontman of Dethklok and co-creator of the show ‘Metalocalypse,’ was the guest on Full Metal Jackie’s radio show this past weekend. Small spoke all about how great touring conditions can completely spoil a musician, as well as the triumphs he's had with both the Cartoon Network show 'Metalocalypse' and Dethklok as a touring band. He also discussed his first performance with his other project Galaktikon, which occurred over the weekend at the Wesfest 8 benefit show. If you missed Full Metal Jackie’s show, check out her interview with Brendon Small below:
Dethklok, the stars of the animated series 'Metalocalypse', find their latest release 'Dethalbum III' debuting at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart with roughly 20,000 units sold. It also hit the No. 1 slot on the Hard Music Albums chart.
Everyone's favorite animated metal band, Dethklok, are back with their latest disc, 'Dethalbum III,' as well as an upcoming tour with Machine Head, All That Remains and Black Dahlia Murder. To celebrate, the band is teaming with Loudwire to give away an Epiphone electric guitar!
It'd be easy to forget that Dethklok are seen as an animated band, since braintrust Brendon Small is such a skilled guitar player, and the music isn't secondary to the hilarious and bombastic plots of the show 'Metalocalypse.' Strip away the funny and fantastical elements of the 'Metalocalypse' cartoon and listen to the music of 'Dethalbum III,' and it'll become painfully obvious why metalheads love the show, the band and Small.
The most brutal cartoon characters in the history of animation have scooped up their first ever Death Match victory. Having defeated The Faceless, 'Metalocalypse' heroes Dethklok now look to run through another opponent to carve a blood-splattered trail into the Death Match Hall of Fame. Their next opponents may be humanoids, but they've released one of 2012's best metal albums and are hungry for a Death Match win.
The Faceless have once again captured victory in our most recent Death Match, this time against extreme innovators Converge. The Faceless have obviously proven that they have the ability to defeat human musicians, but in this next Death Match, the technical death metal act will face the world's greatest cartoon metal act.
The awesome tour announcements just keep rolling in, and we couldn't be more pumped. Cartoon Network's 'Metalocalypse' death metal heroes Dethklok will be headlining a North American tour with some of the strongest supporting acts you'll see from any upcoming tour. Joining Dethklok will be Machine Head, All That Remains and the Black Dahlia Murder.
