Editorial Reviews

Dethklok returns this fall with "Metalocalypse: Dethklok Dethablum II", the highly anticipated follow up that fans have been begging for. Metalocalypse, the hit Adult Swim show centers around the biggest, most metalest band in the world, Dethklok. Each episode of Season 2 features a song from the band and the best of those have been expanded to make Dethalbum II, more brutal than ever before. Prepare for an onslaught of bone-crunching Nordic riffs. This deluxe version of Dethalbum II includes bonus DVD with 52 minutes of music videos from the 2008 Dethklok tour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank Dethklok I survived listening to this album..., September 30, 2009

This review is from: Dethalbum II Deluxe Version (CD + DVD) (Audio CD)

In a recent scientific study 99.98% of people listening to Dethalbum II die... instantly... in a bloody explosion. Survival rate after initial exposure is nominal as long as you head bang constantly.

As for the album:

- Nathan Explosion graces us with some high pitched growls. Probably the most common cause of instant deth associated with listening to the album.
- Skwisgaar makes "demonically fast" seem like "unicornally slow" with his supreme command of a guitar. My fingers bleed just listening to the album.
-Not sure if Toki even plays on this album.
-Murderface made all sandwiches that were consumed during the making of this album and it really shows. He makes a brutal sandwich.
-Pickles never disappoints. What he lacks in hair he makes up in 16th note double bass pedal beats.

As for the bonus DVD:

Sure we don't get bonus songs but we must be thankful for what Dethklok did give us. A whole set of brutal music videos. These contain original animations that were never shown on Metalocalypse. Murmaider, Hatredcopter and Thunderhorse are extremely brutal. The Murmaider music video is the single most brutal and amazing video my eyes have ever seen.

As for the songs:

-Bloodlines: Gets you really hooked into the album. If you don't feel like you've been punched in the stomach after listening to this song you must be some kind of God.
-The Gears: Just when you thought you could get a break from the metal think again. By now your neck should start getting sore.
-Burn The Earth: The solo in this song demands air guitaring. Only your worthless hands will be able to only match 2% of the notes.
-Laser Cannon Deth Sentence: The main riff of this song is brutal.
-Black Fire Upon Us: The slowest song on the album. This will probably be your local high school's slow dance song for all of the school dances.
-Dethsupport: most people must be put on life support at this point in the album... therefore the appropriate song title.
-The Cyborg Slayers: My only complaint about this song is that my ears are not efficient enough to hear all of the notes during the solo. Hopefully my cyborg masters will give me a cybernetic implant...
-I Tamper With The Evidence At The Murder Site Of Odin: Valhalla recently gained the rights to use this song for their alarm clocks to get everyone in a killing mood first thing in the morning.
-Murmaider II: The Water God: Sequel? Check. Brutal? Check. Shredding? Check. Metal? Check. Mermaid? Check. Murder? Check.
-Comet Song: What can be more brutal than a fiery deth from above.
-Symmetry: This song carries us to the end of the album with a brutal riff... making us feel like we've been chopped into two perfectly symmetrical pieces.
-Volcano: If you've made this far into the album you're doing pretty good. Don't let your guard down because you could very well die before listening to the entire album. Brutal end to a brutal album.

If you've made it through a listen, repeat over and over into oblivion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can a "fake" band save mainstream metal? I think it's possible, October 16, 2009

Dethklok, a "fake" band from the Adult Swim series "Metalocalypse" has released their 2nd CD, Dethalbum II. The first Dethalbum was a fun little CD to play for your friends and joke around about how it was based on a cartoon band, Dethalbum II is a completely different monster. Is Dethklok a novelty band? Yes. Do they have some outlandish lyrics and song titles? Yes, but then again, no more than some of the more popular metal bands that have been around for years now. Is Dethalbum II a CD to just write off as a joke? Not at all. When listening to this cd after the first one, you actually hear growth from the band as musicians. This Cd is full of catchy riffs and drum beats that you can't really help but enjoy. Sure the lyrical content isnt going to win Brendan Small a Grammy for songwriting, but turn on your local Rock radio station and listen to what those bands have to say. Trust me, it isn't any better. Now before I get a bunch of negative comments, I am in no way saying that Dethklok is the next Pantera or Slayer or Metallica, so settle down. What I am saying is that it's sad that a band like this will immediately get written off because it's not a real band, while bands with far less talent get platinum records and sell out arenas all over the world because the radio forces them down our throats.(I'm looking at you "Disturbed") That being said, Dethalbum II is a really solid metal cd. It deserves a chance to be heard by any fan of metal, no matter what your favorite band may be. Don't discredit the band because it's from a cartoon, listen with an open mind and you just might be surprised in the end

5.0 out of 5 stars A different level of epic deth super spectacular metal, October 3, 2009

After the first Dethalbum I could not imagine them topping that, but Brendon Small has outdone himself.
This album has more intricate layers of rhythm guitar and more symphonic effects. The videos somewhat console me for missing the live tour. Getting the deluxe edition for almost 1 hr of music videos was well worth it in my opinion.
Anyways, I can't stop listening to this album and I think my ears are bleeding as I'm typing this review.
