On September 25, Adult Swim unleashed the brand-new CD from DETHKLOK on an unsuspecting public. "Dethalbum" features several full-length songs from Adult Swim's most metal animated series "Metalocalypse" plus all-new tracks.

Created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, "Metalocalypse" follows the on- and off-stage adventures of DETHKLOK, an incredibly talented and insanely popular Norwegian heavy metal band. DETHKLOK boasts the lineup of vocalist Nathan Explosion (lyrical visionary),Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth (two of the fastest guitarists alive),bassist William Murderface and drummer Pickles — the soul of the band. Not really.
