Should be Metalocalypse be catagorized as a black comedy?~~ Blindsnyper 21 November 2006 (UTC)
The section says that he has a myspace, was this referenced in the show, or does he actually have a myspace? Also, where does the notion that he is chronically depressed come from?
The opening of the article says that the show is Flash animated. Can this be confirmed or is it simply speculation? 63.100.44.98 00:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
One of the people being interviewed during the first episode (Circa 3:13 on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlvzbVT9ld8&mode=related&search= ) looks to be Goat from the MTV show Downtown_(TV_series) and cartoon network show Megas_XLR. While maybe not significant, it does pose as a neat bit of trivia if someone wants to add it to either the main page once a trivia section starts up or the episode guide. - Wolfman Walt 05:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I believe Metalocalypse is animated by the guys who did Megas XLR (Titmouse Studios) but I can't really find anywhere that confirms this.
here is an image that should put to rest, that this is the one and only goat (including pic of real-life goat) http://home.twmi.rr.com/compn/Goat_01.jpg Compn 15:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
The show is now called Metalocalypse and needs to be changed accordingly in all links and referring links to the show. carpeNoctem 06:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
"ear-melting heavy metal" is in there. For one, the vocals does not sound like heavy metal, as heavy metal is more sung than grunted. Two, "ear-melting"? That seems very biased to me, considering some people have much more an ear for metal, and it's NOT very hard, and it seems to be based soley on the opinion of the writer.
why the two most recent promos only? what about the 2 or 3 others that they've been showing for a few months now? also, "sung" being in quotation marks seems somewhat POV to me. cma 10:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
anyway, why is the "promo" section back? what's the point? if you're going to include those two, how about the use of "untitled scandinavian death metal project" on the schedule calendar way back when, the theme lyrics one, all the various "fintroll's" promos, and the recent "dethday" one? i don't really get why those two are notable. cma 06:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Am I the only one who can't figure out the right way to pronounce the title of the show? Smart Mark Greene 22:34, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
imdb.com has him listed as "Tommy Blacha". Brendon refers to him as "Tommy Blacha", and a google search of both returns 988 in favour of "Blacha" and 8 in favour of "Blancha". Can someone verify after tonight's premiere on the Fix?
I've uploaded two Promo pictures for this article. [1] and [2]. The second one is more official because it came straight from the adult swim website. There's also this one and this one, which also come from the adult swim website. I like the one we have now. If you can find any more pictures for this article, that would be great. dposse 18:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't think James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett are permanent voice talents for the show - just guest talent. Same with Michael Amott and the guys from Nevermore. LK Thurisaz 20:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Little section about quotes to put on the main article
We're here to make coffee metal We will make everything metal BLACKER THAN THE BLACKEST BLACK TIMES INFINITY
-- 71.108.0.223 00:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Unless there is proof that the people from Adult Swim or the show created the pages and not some 13 year old with way too much time on his hands, please leave MySpace links out of this article. Please see WP:V. dposse 16:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Speaking as a 14 year old with way too much time on my hands i am vaguely offended by your remark, but yes it is real 66.176.172.119 00:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Since there are Myspace profiles for the members of Dethklok should the links to the pages be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blindsnyper ( talk • contribs)
Patstuart, your comment makes me think that you actually think the Dethklok band members are real. Private spaces? Solo projects? -- carpeNoctem 09:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
There are pages of Dethklok members that have Brendon Small in their top friends list and I would like to think Brendon wouldn't advertise fake pages of work he does.-- Blindsnyper 13:46 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there any know explanation to why the band's name is 'Death Klok'? Other than they were trying to 'make clocks metal'?
The Futurama episode referenced above was several years old by the time of the premiere of Metalocalypse, and most of the people responsible for the show have been working in the animation industry for quite some time, some directly with Cartoon Network, who have aired Futurama for years now. It seems very unlikely that Dethklok is NOT derived from or at least an acknowledgement of Professor Farnsworth's Death Clock. 71.56.99.71 01:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)dre
S'been a while since I watched the series, so I'm not so clear, but doesn't one of the band members hate clocks? I think it was Nathan. *Shrug* Only way to get a definate answer would be to ask the creators.
Pretty sure it is a reference to the Doomsday Clock previously there was a link to this article from that page but it was removed. same place as the inspiration for the new Linkin Park album 66.176.172.119 00:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
the theme posted here is the old theme brendon made when he first started the very beginning stages of the show, well over a year ago. the newer, and official theme can be listened to and downloaded at dethklok's myspace
We know the show is about the band making things "metal" and their exsitance as it relates to the world. But it appears there is a group of "government" or "world" officials who are closely monitoring the band and their possible (if not confirmed) existance due to resembleance of an ancient drawing (see "Curse of Dethklok" episode). I'm guessing this will be a part of the show from now on based on seeing parts of the second episode? Should this be included somewhere? LK Thurisaz 13:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
i received a myspace blog from the [ dethklok myspace] that read:
THE DETHKLOK ALBUM
We're working in early stages on the album now.
We know very little at this point except it's going to be as METAL as it can fucking be.
In other news:
YOU FUCKERS KICK ASS!!!
YOU made METALOCALYPSE the number one watched show in it's time slot!!!!!
Spread the word of the METALOCALYPSE and help to take over TV!!!
We have 20 mother fucking episodes for YOU!
We will making everything METAL!!!!!!!
METAL.
- Nathan Explosion
so maybe there could be a sectiopn or page on this. Eirik Raude 21:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
now we have some info (maybe enough to start an album page?), from a post by the dethklok myspace:
We went in the studio on Tuesday to begin laying it down. What to expect: Your favorite songs from the show in FULL LENGTH- No more 1 minute songs with a fade out but FULL LENGTH SONGS in all of their brutality- (with new sections you've never heard). There may be some new surprises on the CD (more to come on that). Also a couple key words in putting the CD together: Gene Hoglan (if you don't know him then do some research and begin buying his entire library). Release date: Summer 07. Yes you will have to wait. But it will be more than worth it. I will leak more info as I have it including track listing etc. . . So start looking fwd to the summer.
... Patrick ( talk, contributions) 06:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I have two screencaps of the first two episodes' credits, Episode 1 and Episode 2. What I would like to know is if anyone knows what these people voice to, like:
Can anyone help me out their, please? Much thanks. Ps. Mark friken Hamill is voiceing here WOWOWOW? lol makes the show even better :P -- HardToExplain 19:54, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there any info on who writes/performs the shows music?
I don't know where else to put this. But why is Digidesign's Pro Tools not listed as gear endorsed by Dethklok? Pro Tools is clearly seen in episode Dethwater and Digidesign is clearly seen in every show's end credits. Why are you exempting this as editors? Brendon has a deal with Digidesign just like he has with the other gear mentioned. Please correct this. I am a former Pro Tools pilot (although I now use Samplitude), but credit should be given where it is due! Be responsible for correct info in this wiki! Maybe there is a real musician/producer (and not just a fan) out there that can make this happen. They deserve the credit on the wiki.
kudos on the addition of this one. this was one of the first things the boyfriend and i noticed about the characters, and i actually asked brendon about this at this year's san diego comic con. it's rather funny to see it added to the wiki. cma 02:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be neat to treat this section as separate from the context of the show and pretend just within this section of the wiki that Dethklok as a band actually does exist (and not add any of the voice actor or crew and cast information to this part). Perhaps here we could include the link to their official MySpace, mention of the upcoming album and other such information in addition to the names and positions of the band members and their product endorsements. -- carpeNoctem 17:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
-- carpeNoctem 09:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Right now it's listed as Black Metal. This should be changed to, at the very least, Death Metal. Aside from the corpsepaint, there's really nothing Black Metal about Dethklok whatsoever. The vocals aren't Black Metal, the guitarwork isn't Black Metal, the drumming, lyrics, etc. Even though they aren't pure Death Metal, that label would be much more fitting than Black Metal. X-pert74 02:45, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
They are primarily death metal, and if you have a metal ear, you can also pick out the total power metal lead play (ala Children of Bodom). It is best to leave the overview part simply at "metal" though, to avoid debate. It said "Melodic death" before, which I, among others, would not agree with. -- Ryouga 20:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
where does it mention these on the myspace page? please cite the direct source for this, and make sure it's not some random kid who was saying "this is who i think they might be based on". cma 03:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed it cause it was just fans guessing. In fact, I've read where the creators have specifically said that the characters aren't based on any specific people but are, in their words, "archetypes." Recury 14:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
