The new best-charting death metal album in history was written and performed by a comedian, for a comedy show. Take that, GWAR and company.


The fictitious band, Dethklok, from Adult Swim's Metalocalypse hit the Billboard Top 200 chart with their Dethalbum debuting at #21, breaking a stack of records.

Creator Brendon Small has honed face-melting metal that, for once, doesn't take itself seriously. Small writes the music and scripts for the show, as well as doing voiceovers for several of the characters and taking the helm on lead guitar and vocals.

Dethklok is currently touring to promote the release of the Dethalbum, as well as some new material. The band's lineup includes: Strapping Young Lad drummer Gene Hogan, Zappa guitarist Mike Kenneally, and Z bassist Bryan Beller.

One question.

Do you folks like coffee?
