Editorial Review: Album Description: Mighty Dethklok returns this fall with The Dethalbum, the full length record Metalocalypse fans have been begging for. Premiering last year on Adult Swim, Metalocalypse centers around the exploits of the biggest, most metalest band in the world, Dethklok. As the band goes about their daily affairs, the evil (well, more evil) Tribunal tries in vain to stop Dethklok from expanding their empire. Each episode features a new song from the band and now the best of those tracks have been expanded, re-recorded and put together with all new songs to make the Dethklok album fans have been clamoring for. Prepare for an onslaught of bone-crunching Nordic riffs that will force you to your knees. The Metalocalypse has begun. Amazon.com: There's a fine line between being funny and being a joke. Thankfully, the debut album from Dethklok, the band at the core of Adult Swim's hit animated series Metalocalypse lands squarely in the former category. Performed by series co-creator Brendon Small (Tommy Blacha is Small's creative partner)--with a lot of help from metal drum legend Gene Hoglan (Death Angel, Strapping Young Lad)--songs such as "Birthday Dethday," "Face Fisted," and "Awaken" tap into the unapologetic musical brutality of death metal, while highlighting the often confusing ambiguity of the genre's lyrics. Progressive taxes ("Detharmonic"), the disappointment and seemingly endless cycle of higher education ("Go Forth and Die"), and the obligatory kiss-off to moist-palmed computer geeks who spew vitriol from the safety of Internet chat rooms ("Fansong"), provide the fodder for Small's hilarious, subtle, intelligent and highly quotable lyrics. Make no mistake: The Dethalbum isn't going to supplant your favorite At the Gates or Slayer recordings, but it will provide hours of amusement and joy--perhaps the very enemy of death metal itself, perhaps the very thing that makes Metalocalypse one of the funniest shows on cartoon TV these days and Dethklok the truest rock band since Spinal Tap. --Jedd Beaudoin Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Sometimes the (Metal) Fans Make the Best MusicMetal....You cannot deny it! Such a simple statement not only is true, it works! And ever since the Led Zeppelin debates that began when they came out, metal bands have come out to define (not just redefine) exactly what metal is. As a metal fan, I can say honestly.....we haven't written the first word because the bands have too often made the music about themselves; often, as in the case of Linkin Park, to hide their shortcomings and inabilities. Heavy metal should always be about the pure mastery of the music, and the bands should be the Sadists in that S&M musical relationship. Even the most honest of metal, death metal, has a lost focus. Once again, leave it up to the metal fans to save Metal. With 'Metalocalypse', ...

Don't be fooled, this is very good music if you like heavy stuff. Rating: - Melts Your Face OffThe fact that this album is associated with a cartoon is completely irrelevant. If your soul craves the blissful abuse only brought about by hard, HARD music, the answer is Dëthkløk. To put it bluntly, Dëthkløk, AKA Nathan Explosion, et.al., AKA Brendan Small et.al., found the balls Metallica lost blowing their 'Load', skewered them with a sottering iron, fed them to a summoned Kraken, and road the Kraken to kick Metallica's A**. All while Old Man Dio watched through moistened eyes and clapped his hands in glee. If you like Metal, you'll love Dëthkløk. Rating:  - Waste of time! (LP Record Version, not CD)Alright so I'm a total audiophile, I try to buy all my records on vinyl because of the better quality vinyl provides, and I got excited when I saw that they were releasing The Dethalbum on vinyl, because that was my favorite album of 2007, and I was so excited when the UPS man handed it to me today. But then I opened it and put it on the old turn table. IT SOUNDS LIKE S***! One, the quality is awful, it sounds like it's a bad LimeWire download. Honestly. Two, it's sped up. That's right. The entire album is sped up so they could fit it all on one disc, which isn't too noticeable except for the fact that the pitch is a little higher, only a select few will really notice it. A 16 track album on one disc, c'mon, Williams ... Read More: Rating:  - There's something that I love about this CD:I was just listening to this again after finding it in my CD collection and I can't wait for a sequel even if it's just a CD only and I've heard that they may be working on a followup, in my opinion this is some of the best death metal that I've ever heard, the guitar runs are incredible in spots and I love that sort of gutteral growl that the lyricist does. This is comparable to the CD Demigod by Behemoth. But this is a chunkier sounding version. laughingpig1@yahoo.com |
