Dethklok - The Deathalbum

You all probably heard of Deathklok,it's that death metal band from Metalocalypse,the coolest cartoon ever about heavy metal..ergh maybe the only one too.Since Dethklok is a band from a cartoon you're all probably thinking this is crap,well you're fucking wrong.I'm a fan of comedy rock,i like shit like Tenacious D and Flight of The Conchords ,yep i'm a sucker for funny lyrics...that's why i posted this one.

"I find this album to be one of my favorites. The band, or the two guys who play instruments that the cartoons take credit for I should say, has managed to combine elements of melodic death metal, some old school death metal, and hints of black metal. It is funny how a �joke band� has produced better music than some of the so-called �serious� bands.

The main highlight of this album, in my opinion, is the lead and rhythm guitars. The rhythm guitar riffs are very simplistic in such songs like �Go Into the Water�, �Murmaider�, and �Dethharmonic�. During these songs, however, the lead guitar plays its vital role in providing the perfect level of harmony to the music. The guitar solos are simply amazing. In the cartoon, they say that their lead guitarist is the fastest guitarist in the world. I would not say that these are the fastest solos I�ve heard, but they work very well with the rest of the music.

The bass is hard to hear in most of the songs. Once again, in the cartoon, they say that they usually mix the bass out. However, the bass can be heard very well in the song Thunderhorse. The bass lines are nothing like Alex Webster, but they add a certain flavor to the song. The drums are another highlight. The double-bass kicks are present, but not constant. They hold on to the rhythm, and they do not overpower as most drums do in ninety percent of most metal.

The vocals are something interesting. On the surface, it sounds like your normal death metal vocals. However, they are not so deep and rough that you cannot understand the lyrics, which are one of the defining aspects of Dethklok. In most of the songs, they seem to be used very little, but this is only to allow for the guitars and drums to show their musicianship.

I recommend this album. I think anyone who can get over the concept of Dethklok being a �joke band� then they will enjoy this."(review from metal-arhives.com)
