Dethklok, the most brutal band in the history of metal, has taken a weird, metaphysical trip into concert history. The band, formed on the show Metalocalypse on Adult Swim, features five heavy metal rockers in their adventures as Earth’s Mightest Heroes—or, at least, Earth’s Mightiest Band. Each episode of their show ends with a song somehow relating to the theme of the episode (such as “Birthday Dethday” tying into Murderface’s birthday, or “Awaken” leading to a country being ravaged by a monster that was, well, woken up by the band). This tour featured the actual musicians in the band (one being series co-creator and voice actor Brendan Small), joined by Gene Hoglan on drums, Mike Keneally on guitar (alongside Brendon), and Bryan Beller on bass.

You would think a version of “Little Red Riding Hood” with terrorists/liberators would be a little more interesting, wouldn’t you?
