Metalocalypse Season 2 DVD – Premium Hollywood https://www.premiumhollywood.com Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:25:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.8 What better way to say “happy holidays” than with a Dethklok video? https://www.premiumhollywood.com/2008/12/04/what-better-way-to-say-happy-holidays-than-with-a-dethklok-video/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:22:43 +0000 https://www.premiumhollywood.com/?p=4287 Most fans of Adult Swim’s “Home Movies” series are probably still angry and bitter over creator Brendon Small’s decision to make his next project about a death metal band, but while the animated adventures of young Brendon, Jason, and Melissa regularly skewered the world of Hollywood, so does “Metalocalypse” poke fun at the music industry. The series focuses on Dethklok, a death metal band so popular that, indeed, by the second season of the series (:::coughing::: now out on DVD :::coughing:::), they rank as the seventh largest economy on the planet Earth; as a result, they answer to no authority but their own, lest the world’s financial solidity fall apart. If you can get past the music and the rampant violence, it’s actually an extremely funny and clever series.

Here’s the test: if you can get through the video for Dethklok’s song, “Mermaider,” and not feel repulsed in any way, then you should give “Metalocalypse” a chance…possibly starting with the Season 1 DVD set.

Be forewarned, however, that it’s very much for mature audiences only.
