Metalocalypse: Dethklok

Described as "the world's greatest cultural force," the virtual death metal band Dethklok star in the Adult Swim television show Metalocalypse. The Mordland-based quintet consists of vocalist Nathan Explosion, who uses a death metal growl even when he's not singing; lead guitarist Skwisgar Skwigelf, the fastest string slinger alive; rhythm guitarist Toki Wartooth, the second-fastest guitar player alive; bassist and Civil War memorabilia collector William Murderface, and Pickles the Drummer. The fictional band's debut long-player, 2007's The Dethalbum, debuted at number 21 on Billboard's Top 200, with subsequent efforts Dethalbum II (2009), III (2012), and IV (2023) reaching the upper echelons of the U.S rock charts.
