So is Deathklok now the metal version of Gorillaz?
Love the show, and the music is great. If he/they can pull off an album that would be great.

being a huge fan of the "genre" i wish i could dig this. i watched one episode of metalocolypse and was left going "ehhhh" not for me. should i give it another try?

Here's where I come from as a fan: I was HUGE into metal, and ONLY metal in high school. I was a joke. A stereotype. I still love metal, but that doesn't stop me from being able to look back and laugh at myself (and many of the bands I liked and STILL like.) I DON'T like metal ironically like a douche, I still really like it and appreciate it, but there's lots of things to laugh at too.

That's where the humor comes in for me. The show is funny on so many god damned levels. It's kind of written from that POV. Someone looking back on what they were but also by someone who still has a love for the music.

And on a "stupider" level, there's tons of guts and slapstick to make it worth it too.

When I saw the first episode when it aired I had NO IDEA what to expect, but a brutal metal song about coffee, windmill head banging and a trip to a grocery store named after Fintroll where Nathan punches his fist through the glass to get some meat sold me. I can't say if you'll like it if you give it a second try, but what the hell it won't hurt?

What episode did you watch? I think they're all awesome, but of course there's ones that are better than others in my opinion.

I really think you have to listen to brutal death metal to truly appreciate this show.

I can see how someone who only liked some of the other metal genres would think it wasn't that great.

but if you like death metal, the characters/songs/content is right on the money.

For sure, but it touches on all the rest too. Each member of the band is such an awesomely put together stereotype too. I love that Murderface is from FL. so appropriate.

Also, for me, it's kind of what my mentality was when I was BIG into metal in highschool. I thought big like that, like "if I was in a metal band it'd be the most brutal and we'd kill people at shows with a giant killer stage that spit blood" and dumb junk like that. It's a dumb 15 year old metal heads dream come true.
