I'd say that this album Rocks hard. I mean, this is the metal band DETHKLOK! This is from metalocalypse TV animated serie (wchich is GREAT byt the way) Well, it includes every songs that need to be heard from the first season of metalocalypse. every single song is great. The lyrics are funny, the metal... heavy, the structure of the songs, great! I recommend this album for every fans of metalocalypse, metal, deathmetal, to every people that has a dark sense of humor, to trolls, fishs, (that does NOT include Murmaids!) Buy this album, even if it's not as great as the second one, it'll remain a classic of the metal world for years! Hailz!
Since no reviewers has really said anything about the sound of this album I will say a little. If you had to classify this music into a genre is would probably be "melodic death metal" but it really can't be pigeonholed like that. The vocals are very much death metal style, but the guitar tends to be very melodic and epic in its sound. Many of the songs sound like they are paying homage to/mocking various metal and rock bands over the past few decades. For example, the guitar harmonies on "Go Into The Water" sound exactly like something Queen would play, while the drumming and riffing make "The Lost Vikings" sound like an orphaned Amon Amarth track. As others have mentioned, the band is a fictional one from the Adult Swim cartoon "Metalocalypse." Because of this, many of the lyrics are humorous in nature. However, the intrumentals are to be taken seriously. The solos and songwriting is top-notch, and "Thunderhorse" rivals Metallica's "Orion" for pure musical genius. This is an album that every metal fan should own.Read full review
THE GREATEST ALBUM I HAVE EVER EVER HEARD!!! Need I say any more? Of course not, but for those of you who don't know about Dethklok I shall cure thee of thy ignorance. All kidding aside, I do belive this may be the greatest album I have EVER heard. This album is based on the show based on making fun of how extravagant and ridiculous metal band often are. For those of you who have seen the show and enjoyed it, this album will be an addiction. For those of you who have'nt had the EXTREME pleasure, the hilarious show "Metalocolypse" is an animated series about the fictional band Dethklok who is the "most famous and rich band in the world." They are near complete morons who have an astounding affinity for musical aptitude. This album "The Dethalbum" is a compilation of songs from the show, off of their fictional albums. The album itself is a joke on metal bands but still has the uncanny strength to overpower you and drag you into the back of it's van of musical awesomeness. It has well assembled and perfectly accompanied musical genius behind it. The music itself sounds, for the most part, like '80s heavy metal but better. The lyrics are where one realizes this album is a joke. Being mostly ridiculous, but always in character of "the greatest metal band in the world", they make much more sense if you've seen the show. They are however brilliant in the manner which the songs are sang, if you can't understand the actual worlds their saying then they sound like regular metal music and it still sounds amazing. Seeing as how the band is actually fictional, for something like this to exist they require some real life help which is rendered by Brendon Small, who does all of the guitars, keyboards, and vocals, and Gene Holgan who delivers insane drumming which would rival that of the one and only Joey Jordinson. I just cannot say enough about the excellence of this album and my words could never do it justice. It is an encounter with the gods of music one can only experience for themselves. Unfortunately, as a worldly and greedy man, I have but one complaint for Dethklok, MORE SONGS!! I wish it had a few more song but I can only expect there will be another album after another season or two of the show. Yet still, I must recomend the purchase, listening of, and worshiping of this nugget of musical mastery. (Especially the Deluxe/Limited edition including extra tracks and the music video for "Bloodrocuted" as well as Episode 1, Season 2 of Metalocolpyse)Read full review
After a long search, and several unsuccessful bidding wars right here, I became the owner of an album that is nearly impossible to find, or even order anywhere else. the Dethklok DEATHALBUM is one of the monster 'death metal'albums of all time, and when one realizes that the same people who have created the show, and several otehr "ADULT SWIM" favorites as well are the players in the band, it becomes even more powerful. The music is tight, the editing is right on and the sound can rip your eardrums from their mooring, punching them at high speed right through your brain, to meet and explode in the midline, causing paroxysms of agonistic extasy! God, I love this album! Next - I want to have my hair done like Pickles' ... if I had any to start with - or at least to have his drum kit -- EBay is a great place, and most of the people here are excellent people. Thanks for the great shopping experience. Now, to unload some computer stuff ... abc3abc4 (aka - alex)Read full review
This is a great album which came still wrapped. It also includes a secret extra song(the Metalocalypse theme).
