AT LONG LAST, METALOCALYPSE WILL DEBUT NEW EPISODES

 Monday, May 12th, 2008 at 10:19am by

Well well well, Rob over at Metal Injection made a very interesting discovery over the weekend:

“I was stumbling through the city this weekend, and while in midtown I looked up and saw a ginormous DETHKLOK ad right in the middle of the city. It was so brutal, I had to stop and take a photo and be mistaken for a tourist [Said tourist photo to your right - Ed.]. Then, I turned on [adult swim] earlier and they were advertising that the show returns next Sunday, May 18th! Fuck. Yes!”

These will be the first new episodes of 2008. Think about that: there haven’t been new episodes of Metalocalypse in almost six months. Who the fuck do Tommy Blacha and Brendon Small think they are, the showrunners for fuckin’ Lost or something?

Oh, well. Look at this way: unlike Lost, when Metalocalypse returns, at least there’ll be some payoff.

    I love love love this show. And yet… whenever i see someone with a Dethklok shirt, I think: “Poser.” also the upcoming “tour” is ridiculous at best. no way am i going to pay to see a cartoon metal band play for mostly non-metalhead hipsters and trendfucks. Most of those people will be there to be ironic anyway. just like the emo kids who wear Maiden and Priest shirts…

    I might go to their show. It certainly depends on lots of factors and I’m not going to blow anything off to take a trip out to Manhattan just for it, but if it works out easily I might just do it. I can’t believe I missed the fact that Arch Enemy was playing last week. damn it. and Meshuggah too. Where the fuck is my head at?

    I gotta say again: Go see Dethklok live. If nothing else, watch that pear-shaped bastard Gene Hoglan smash the fuck out of his drums for an hour and a half. But, trust me, it’s a pretty thrashing time. And anything you might have heard/read about it being a cartoon band is bogus. The stage is dark but not more so than any other metal show, and when I saw them, the screens played music videos for each song, they didn’t show “the band members” “playing” the songs.

    But also, yes, this show is a magnet for posers. The tour will also be. But what isn’t? Have you ever been to a Dillinger Escape Plan show, or a Mastodon show? Every “fight” response in the “fight or flight” center of your brain will be going off the fucking charts. If Pig Destroyer played shows, I’m sure theirs would be the same. Fortunately, I am secure enough in my non-poserness (? poserosity ?) that I am not freaked out by being near these trend chasing cumwads.

    On a more Dethklok related note, I was a little underwhelmed by the current season and was waiting for it to hit its stride, so I think Brendon and Tommy might have shot themselves in the foot by taking this break. Momentum may have been lost, gathered steam expelled to the four winds of Njörd. I hope not, but…
