Metal dudes who can laugh at themselves are a rare breed; for all the serious-face doom-and-gloom posturing, metal is a pretty nerdy genre, what with the evil imagery, the long hair, the silly-looking fonts—it’s about two steps away from a Magic: The Gathering meet-up. But that’s what makes Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse so cleverly tongue-in-cheek; Dethklok, the show’s cartoon band (fronted in person by co-creator/vocalist-guitarist Brendon Small), encapsulates everything that’s absurd about the genre, but with a lighthearted wit that comes off as pure fandom tribute.
Making up for a cancelled August show with Lamb Of God, Dethklok will stop by The Rave Thursday, Nov. 15. (Lamb Of God has been rescheduled for Nov. 9.) Joining the band will be Machine Head, All That Remains, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Tickets are $30 or $36, and go on sale Friday, Sept. 14 at 10 a.m.
