NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY Members To Guest On 'Dethklok Metalocalypse' This Sunday
September 20, 2006NEVERMORE members Warrel Dane's and Steve Smyth's voices will be featured as members of Pickle's former band SNAKES AND BARRELLS on the cartoon series "Dethklok Metalocalypse" this Sunday (Sept. 24) at 11:45 p.m. on on Adult Swim (the adult-oriented television programming block on Cartoon Network). Also making an appearance as a SNAKES AND BARRELLS member is Michael Amott of ARCH ENEMY. Other musicians who have contributed to the series include King Diamond, Kirk Hammett (METALLICA) and James Hetfield (METALLICA). Check out images of Hetfield's and Hammett's appearance in the series, which premiered August 6, at Metallica.com.
"Dethklok Metalocalypse" follows the mayhem surrounding the world's biggest band, and 12th-largest economy, the half-Norwegian/half-American black metal band DETHKLOK, according to ThePhoenix.com. They live in a gigantic upside-down dragon boat perched atop the fjords of Norway. They cause disaster, destruction, and bloodshed wherever they go. In an age where metal is king, DETHKLOK's business savvy trumps the world's most shrewd visionaries. But they're excessively dumb when it comes to the most rudimentary tasks. For example, they don't know how to make food for themselves — not even a sandwich. During one scene, guitarist Skwisgarr Skwigelf tries to make coffee with a toaster. Although they've outsold THE BEATLES, DETHKLOK are, according to show co-creator Brendon Small, "just a thousand times more dangerous and a billion times more stupid."
"Dethklok" episodes can be viewed on the Adult Swimweb site.
