Metalocalypse is a new cartoon on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network). The show is about a metal band from Scandinavia and is the biggest band and cultural phenomenon in the world. The majority of the material is a spoof that exploits the funny stereotypes of most metal bands. In the episodes the bands play their original music with most of the grooves laid down by actual metal musicians. Anyway, the band consists of 5 guys, some from the US and some from Sweden/Norway. The guys are so absorbed in metal that they can't really do anything besides play music. Recommended for those who love metal music or humorous but pointless cartoons.
