Dethklok

Dethklok is a virtual death metal band created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha for the television show Metalocalypse. The band is sometimes cited as an example of "comedy rock" on par with bands such as GWAR or Spinal Tap, though the overtly comedic aspects of the band are usually reserved for show episodes. Dethklok released their first album in 2007, and the music itself is relatively straightforward deth metal. The band's less common typeset moniker, Dëthkløk, includes the heavy metal umlaut.
