METALLICA: 'Dethklok Metalocalypse' Images Posted Online

August 21, 2006

METALLICA's official web site has been updated with images of James Hetfield's and Kirk Hammett's appearance in the cartoon series "Dethklok Metalocalypse", which premiered August 6 on Adult Swim (the adult-oriented television programming block on Cartoon Network). Check it out at Metallica.com.

"Dethklok Metalocalypse" follows the mayhem surrounding the world's biggest band, and 12th-largest economy, the half-Norwegian/half-American black metal band DETHKLOK. They live in a gigantic upside-down dragon boat perched atop the fjords of Norway. They cause disaster, destruction, and bloodshed wherever they go. In an age where metal is king, DETHKLOK's business savvy trumps the world's most shrewd visionaries. But they're excessively dumb when it comes to the most rudimentary tasks. For example, they don't know how to make food for themselves — not even a sandwich. During one scene, guitarist Skwisgarr Skwigelf tries to make coffee with a toaster. Although they've outsold THE BEATLES, DETHKLOK are, according to show co-creator Brendon Small, "just a thousand times more dangerous and a billion times more stupid."
