The dates for the tour are listed below. Mastodon most recently opened for Metallica after a co-headlining tour with Dethklok. Tickets go ...
It's a fountain. It shoots out fake blood. It costs $40,000. And it could be yours! That's right, [adult swim] is currently selling a fucking fountain. Serious inquiries only! This of course is a replica of a fountain the fictional biggest band in the world DETHKLOK has and is made of marble; approx. 66" in [...]
Then why not piss it away on a pissing fountain? I'm guessing not many Dethklok fans have $40,000 of discretionary income, but if you happen to be so fortunate/stupid you can spend it on a perfect replica of the fountain that decorates the nightmarish foyer of Dethklok's luxurious and deadly estate. The fountain is made [...]

"I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.

When you see Matt Pike play guitar - snaggle-teeth glinting, baby-beer-belly inching over belt buckle, sweat dripping across numerous just-better-than-jailhouse tattoos - you realize that he was put on the earth to be a fucking rock star. Even without hearing the inspired, arresting sounds emanating from his funky-looking, custom-made nine-string guitar, the fact is undeniable. Once the mutton-chopped visage is audibly coupled to the hair-raising Motor-Sabbath destruction of Pike's Bay Area power trio High on Fire , the slack-jawed showgoer becomes aware of something headbangingly transcendent transpiring before their very eyes. High on Fire first made [...]

Purists might as well get used to it: this Dethklok thing is getting really good. The popularity of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse is remarkable, but that's nothing compared to just how massive the musical side of the fictional death metal band has become among young American metal fans. From out of nowhere, 2007's tie-in CD The Dethalbum went on to greatly exceed expectations, debuting at number 21 (an unfathomable placing for a) a debut extreme metal album, and b) a soundtrack for a cartoon) and eventually selling in excess of 300,000...
Or so reader Edgar Garcia tell us; I've never heard of this animated show myself, but needless to say, Edgar's e-mail got my attention. So I checked it out, annnnndddd... It doesn't seem nearly as good as Dethklok. I mean, even if I had a better understanding of the show, the music just doesn't strike me [...]

So my liver and I survived November somehow, but man was it a struggle on both of us. November was packed full of amazing metal shows here in Atlanta, and luckily I went to every damn one. The month started with one of the best tours of the year- Mastodon, Dethklok, Converge, and High On Fire. [...]

There are some Christmas traditions that never change or go out of fashion - turkey, mulled wine, mistletoe....and TV Christmas Specials. So we were more than a little chuffed when our favourite cartoon heavy metal phenomenon, Metalocalypse , premiered their own Christmas Special, 'Dethmas' , this past weekend. Sadly, the full Christmas special is only available for US citizens to see watch right now. And Thrash Hits would never - 0f course - endorse the use of illegal download sites to access Dethklok's latest hi-jinks should you [...]
