REVIEW: METALOCALYPSE “DETHDINNER”

Toki breaks the “friends don’t let friends get tagged in ugly pictures” rule.

Spoilers Below

After three months the new Dethklok album is finished! However, we have some loose ends we need to tie up like album credits and whatnot which for just about every other band is taken care of…for Dethklok this turns into a bit of a cluster fuck. Murderface wants to get rid of Toki as he feels his long time rhythm guitar player isn’t pulling his weight.  Nathan on the other hand is a bit head fucked about giving oral to Abigail and he wants to turn it into a full time relationship.

The relationship between Toki and Murder is gets even worse when Toki skips out on the album credits meeting and as a result the bassist feels he should get 30% of the album credit. To prove that he ain’t fucking around Murderface decides to starve himself to death until all his demands are met.

As the dinner commences, things go from bad to worse. Murderface is continuing his ongoing starvation, Toki shows up with Rockso probably on every drug you can find, and Nathan professes his love for Abigail in front of the entire table! This sets off Pickles who opts to quit the band due to his lead singer’s selfishness. Can Dethklok overcome its internal rifts??

Shit’s gettin’ real on Metalocalypse ain’t it?? The episode was surprisingly accurate on all the ingredients in the recipe for a band breaking up, women, drugs, money, and my favorite “creative differences”.  The writers do a great job of putting all these ingredients for this week which pretty much just gives us a setup for next week. It’s going to be interesting to see how Small and Co. can balance being a comedy driven show to one that now takes a more serious turn. Looking forward to next week!
