Dethklok.

This band is the most brutal, metal band ever. Blacker than the blackest black times infinity.


Seriously now, all jokes aside, this band is pretty rad for a band that technically doesn't exist. Real or not, they have good music. The lyrics are often kind of silly, but what can you expect from a fictional cartoon band designed for an [adult swim] program?

Consulting my copy of The Dethalbum, which iTunes informs me it is a deluxe edition or some crap, I will voice my opinions on them. Whilst listening. My thoughts shall be fresh then. Fresher than the Fresh Prince. WOAH!

Awaken is ace. There should be more songs that bring forth enormous high speed internet destroying trolls. Well, no, there shouldn't, because I wouldn't be able to write this if that happened. They don't even exist anyway. But hypothetically speaking, then there should be.

Thunderhorse is fuckin' brilliant. For those of you who like songs to have a decent amount of lyrics, then you're far too picky. Thunderhorse doesn't NEED loads of lyrics to make it a very aurally pleasing song. The guitarwork more than makes up for it, despite it being great in most every song.

For all of you who are sick of singing the traditional birthday song, try Birthday Dethday on for size at your next celebration! Perfect for ages 1 to 100, this song shall perk up the normally bland and predictable birthday song selection. If singing it offends anybody, then you get bonus brownie points (from me, of course). Whether or not these points are redeemable for brownies (hash or otherwise) in any way depends, but most likely not.

Now, I know that none of you probably care, but Dethharmonic is probably my favourite Dethklok song. It may or may not be because of the wonderful Emilie Autumn on violins, and it may or may not be because said violins are beautiful, but either way, it's fucking excellent! It's lyrically straightforward; fuck taxes. I never thought a Dethklok song could be summed up as pretty, but this one is, thanks to Miss Autumn. I better stop, before this entry slowly morphs into an Emilie Autumn-centric entry. Eep.

There is also the most metal jingle you'll ever hear, which is fantastic. Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle is the new-wave of metal coffee jingles. Or it should be. It has a fantastic solo, which is something you don't hear often in jingles. You never do actually, but shut up! You know what I mean!

Fansong wouldn't surprise me if some actual musicians in the world feel the exact same way about their fans. If that's the case, then it might certainly prove that fans would do anything no matter what is thought of them. Hmm.

I want to see Dethklok live.
