Summary: 5 Stars
Now, I caught this show when it 1st aired on Adult Swim, some time ago. However, I guess I'd missed just a few of the episodes. Reason being, I bought a used copy of this 2-disc set, and immediately put it in the dvd player, sat down w/a little something to eat. Next thing you know, I about lose my lunch {well, actually supper}, as Murderface vomits up some pretty nasty-looking beans - yyyuck!!! I'm thinking {for some odd reason} that's it, right? Well, the next evening I put it in to finish watching the 1st disc {I believe it was?}, sit down to watch whilst eating - and, there you go - more {yyyuck!} vomit! Next night, I put in the 2nd disc, oh, how lucky I missed the part of the "chain reaction" vomit from Nathan Explosion, as I had to get up and leave for a second, however I still heard it - just real glad I wasn't eating! - All that now set aside, as a whole, minus those 3 nasty parts, the 2-disc season 1 set is extremely, very brutally funny!!!!! {I just about couldn't stop laughing throughout!} I must obtain the 2nd season set now. I swear, Dethklok sooo RULZ!!! Brutal, brutal, immensely BRRRUTALLL!!!!!DVD Review: The Metalocalypse has begun
Summary: 4 Stars
When you're the most popular band in music, the world's twelfth-largest economy, and guarantors of all things metal, dealing with such mundane matters as obnoxious relatives, tax issues, and sycophantic fans, along with the occasional killer troll or assassination attempt, can be a real hassle. However, it makes an ingenious concept for a satirical TV show, and the warped minds behind Adult Swim's Metalocalypse take full advantage of their subject mater, taking aim at heavy-metal excess, celebrity worship, and pop-cultural stupidity through the adventures of animated death-metal supergroup Dethklok. The show's creators combine an obvious knowledge and appreciation of extreme music with an understanding of its inherent goofiness, and show a genuine affection for their characters even while poking fun at their complete lack of aptitude at anything other than metal. The tone is enjoyably gonzo throughout, as the satire shares space with deadpan humor and lots of gratuitously over-the-top, lovingly rendered gore; the animation is uniformly first-rate, especially in its attention to detail (the band's enormous helicopter and its forbidding dwellings at Mordhaus are especially impressive); and the music itself is surprisingly well-played and catchy in spite of its humorous intent, although the comic aspect is undercut a little by the near-indecipherability of the lyrics.
For their part, the band members walk a fine line between characters and caricatures, but all provide more than their share of laughs: brutish frontman Nathan Explosion, dog-faced, hate-filled bassist William Murderface, English-challenged Scandinavian guitar virtuosos Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth, and hard-drinking drummer Pickles. In spite (or perhaps because) of their massive wealth and fame, the band members are essentially overgrown children, living in a perpetual state of immaturity, ignorance, and self-centeredness, with their no-nonsense manager constantly struggling to limit the fallout of their self-destructive actions. The show heavily exploits the idea of a band as a dysfunctional family, with the members of Dethklok showing an undeniable bond whether learning the ways of the blues (Bluesklok) or undergoing band therapy (Performance Klok). The later episodes even provide a few strong character moments, from Toki's attempts to shed his nice-guy image (Dethkids) to Murderface's quest for spiritual fulfillment after a near-death incident (Religionklok) to Nathan Explosion's twisted relationship with a woman who's all wrong for him (Girlfriendklok).
Providing a thread through all the craziness is a top-secret cabal of political, religious, and military leaders, led by a shadowy figure with an eerie voice and a sketchy past, that secretly monitors the band's activities from afar and trots out a never-ending succession of hilarious experts to pontificate on the danger of the latest developments to come out of Mordhaus. Apparently, in addition to their enormous popularity, Dethklok may be the fulfillment of an apocalyptic Sumerian prophecy, which makes them even more of a threat than their music alone. Everything culminates in the brilliant concluding episode The Metalocalypse Has Begun, which brings the events of the season to an action-packed, violent head at a live performance in the icy environs of the Baltic Sea. Its the perfect way to cap the season, and sets the stage for even more insanity to come in season two. I've only briefly sampled the second season, but if it's as good as its predecessor I should be through it in no time.
DVD Review: Great item
Summary: 5 Stars
Season two is better than season one, and I got it for a great deal on Amazon!
