Dethklok Played Their First Show In 5 Years
Last night (November 15th) in Los Angeles, Dethklok re-formed for a highly anticipated headlining show at the second annual Adult Swim Festival, which also featured an array of decidedly less-metallic artists including Jamie xx, Vince Staples, Young Thug, Captain Murphy, Tierra Whack and Lil Nas X. It was the first time Metalocalypse co-creator and singer-guitarist-songwriter Brendon Small and his cohorts had taken the stage as the flesh-and-blood incarnation of the most brutal band in the universe since 2014. And Small’s cohorts were a little different this time out: Gene Hoglan was back on drums, but on second guitar was Nili Brosh and on bass Pete Griffin. The newbies didn’t miss a beat, however, and the band’s set — which was livestreamed on Adult Swim’s website, following an all-day Metalocalypse marathon — went off without a hitch, complete with some new backing animation, a new voiceover courtesy of Mark Hamill and the live premieres of “Impeach God” and “Comet Song.” See the full 19-song set list below (via setlist.fm), and check out some fan-shot photos and videos of the action.
