If you’ve yet to experience Metalocalypse, I highly suggest you expose yourself to it as quickly as possible. Monday nights on Teletoon, and God knows when on Cartoon Network (I don’t get the channel). It’s a Brendon Small production, so right there you should have a good idea of whether or not you’ll like it. It’s not quite as brilliant as Home Movies, but it’s hilarious and the members of Dethklok are some of the most lovable characters I’ve seen in ages. The first season DVD was also released in mid-October, so maybe just go out and buy that. The special features alone are totally worth it.<\/p>\n

\"\"Since the show is about a band, it’s completely understandable that they would make at least one CD to cash in on the franchise even more. Dethklok’s debut album seems like so much more than an easy cash grab though. It’s a full-length CD, with complete versions of a bunch of the songs featured in the show, as well as a couple new ones. We can only hope that subsequent seasons of the show result in follow-up albums. Sadly, I do not own a legitimate copy of the album, as not one retailer in my vicinity stocks the damned thing. It’s possibly the world’s greatest injustice. I’ll buy it online eventually, but until that day… illegal MP3s are all I have.<\/p>\n

Blah, but enough about loosely-related things. How about the actual music? Well, it’s most definitely metal. I actually intend to do a complete review of the disc, so I won’t go into too much detail here. I will say that from the day I downloaded it to the day I lost my car, it’s all that I listened to while driving. That should probably say enough. If not, you know the song “Thunderhorse” in Guitar Hero 2? Well, it’s on the Dethalbum<\/span>, only it kicks so much more ass you wouldn’t believe it. I think I mentioned so in the past. I think I may have also posted an MP3<\/a>. There are a couple songs that don’t quite measure up to par, but overall it’s a fantastic CD, and the bonus disc that comes with the special edition (pictured) is gravy.<\/p>\n

So yes. If you like the show, you probably already own this CD. If not, what the hell is wrong with you? To anyone who hasn’t seen Metalocalypse, I reiterate my point of “check it out now”. Beneath all the blood and metal is some rather inspired satire. Also, jokes. The CD carries on most of those elements too, so yeah. Get it.<\/p>\n
