Metalocalypse

Heavy metal and animation collide in this programme from the popular Adult Swim brand. The metal band Deathklok, which includes both Scandinavian and American members, has conquered the world, becoming far more influential than any band in music history. But with success comes danger and corruption, and each episode of the show sees the band fending off the attentions of a shadowy organisation known as the Tribunal, who attempt to bring the band's popularity to an abrupt halt. Metalocalypse is full of brutal cartoon violence (it's not unusual for audience members to die at Deathklok shows) that has won over countless fans from the heavy metal community.
