Beautiful madness. This is happening late October into November -- don't have an itinerary yet, but stay tuned. My voice can also be heard on several upcoming episodes of Season 2 of Metalocalypse, which airs Sunday night on the Cartoon Network -- don't know when the episodes I'm on are airing so you'll have to watch them all. (...)"

The album is awesome, just like the cartoon! And Marcel, if you attempt to bash them with a review, be sure that I will be making use of the opportunity to make their profile official  @Dr.Rock: the dates are for free @MUSIC?: Adult Swim plans two such promotional tours, one focusing on hip hop, the other on rock and metal. I don't really understand why it had to be ...Trail of Dead either, but just consider Dethklok to be on a mission to proselytize people to metal - wouldn't make much sense to tour with a metal band then, would it?

Written by Promonex on 25.09.2007 at 20:30 Oh, well thats good. I dont think it matters anyways because I doubt it will stop anywhere convieniently close to me (I wouldnt go out of my way to see it.) I overheard some jock/preppy types talking about the show at school today, I really dont know why theyd like it considering they probably dont understand half of the jokes.

Omg.. How are they going to do it? Like Gorilaz and then have the real musicians out back, or are those musicians mentioned in the article actually standing on stage.. Coz if thats the case, then it isn't really Dethklok, just a bunch of people playing Dethklok music...

"The logistics are being worked on as we speak, but it looks like it's gonna be a real killer, multi-media show." - Gene Hoglan in June So I don't really know how it's gonna be like, but it definitely won't just be the band playing Dethklok songs. And unless at least half of the crowd dies, it ain't a real Dethklok show anyway
