Adult Swim’s Heavy Metal Comedy METALOCALYPSE Confirmed! There is also a new album and a tour

If you are a fan of Adult Swim’s heavy metal comedy series Metalocalysse, we have some exciting news to share! Adult Swim has confirmed that Metalocalypse are officially arriving, and will come with a new album from the band and a national tour!

The film is titled Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar and will be written and directed by the creator of the series Brendon Piccolo. Small will also star in the film and be joined by Tommy Blacha, Victor Brandt, Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner, King Diamond, Mark Hamill, Kirk Hammett, Jon Hamm, Scott Ian, Amy Lee, Malcolm McDowell, Juliet Mills, Laraine Newman, Raya YarbroughAND Livia Shut up.

The film’s story will focus on Dethklok frontman Nathan Explosion as he “finds himself traumatized into a brutal professional and romantic crackdown, all while tasked with fulfilling prophecy and taking on the ultimate songwriting challenge to save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?

The new album that will be released is an accompanying soundtrack titled Dethalbum IV and the national tour will also start on August 30, 2023. They will be touring with Japanese kawaii metal pioneers BABYMETAL for the “Babyklok Tour”.

Small said in a statement, “It’s very surreal to have so many new Metalocalypse and Dethklok this year with the trifecta of tour, film and album. I’m so excited to hit the road with the mighty BABYMETAL and celebrate all the hard work the Metalocalypse and Dethklok team have done over the past two years and counting!

This is spectacular! I actually recently discovered BABYMETAL for myself and they are amazing! I’m a fan and will definitely go to their concert!
