Metalocalypse is returning! While the Adult Swim show originally ended in 2013, Adult Swim have now greenlit a full-length feature film for release later this year. The series, which parodied extrene metal culture in hilarious ways, was a fan favorite, and infiltrated pop culture to the point where Dethklok songs were featured in Brutal Legend and multiple Guitar Hero games, too!
The new movie’s plot, apparently, is as follows:
“The power-hungry Tribunal unveils their secret and deadly ‘Falconback Project’ as the world grows in embattled chaos and the menacing Doomstar breaches the Earth’s atmosphere while the mysterious and twisted dissent of a band member threatens the future of Dethklok. Picking up directly after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth: Can Dethklok choose between their egos and the greater good of the world to embark on a gauntlet of dangers that will try their very souls and finally write the song that will be their salvation?”
This original film has been green-lit. Any complaints and we're turning this internet around and going home #metalocalypse pic.twitter.com/wsRR2s5opu
