The long-awaited animated film “Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar” is out on digital and Blu-ray next Tuesday, August 22nd. It’s set after the events of the Adult Swim series and comes with two new albums featuring Dethklok – the film’s soundtrack (out August 25th) and “Dethalbum IV.” And co-creator Brendon Small and former Testament drummer Gene Hoglan give an inside look at the making of the animated movie and the music! They discuss how they first met, the songwriting and recording process, how they’re preparing for the upcoming Dethklok tour (alongside Babymetal), and what (and who) we might expect to see onstage with them. Brendon also speaks to the inspiration behind the Metalocalypse Adult Swim animated series, the characters (guitarists Nathan Explosion and Toki Wartooth, singer Skwisgaar Skwisgelf, bassist William Murderface, and Pickles The Drummer), and some of the special guest stars like Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Scott Ian from Anthrax who appear in the upcoming movie.
