Every Episode of ‘Metalocalypse’ Is Now Streaming for Free

Adult Swim has made every episode of Metalocalypse available to stream for free! All four seasons, plus the Klok Opera movie, can now be viewed ad nauseam on the official Adult Swim website.

Creator Brendon Small achieved gigantic success with the fictional death metal band Dethklok, with all three Dethalbum records outselling the last. Since the final special’s airing in 2013, fans have clamored for the return of Metalocalypse, but unfortunately, Adult Swim wasn’t interested in giving the series a final bow.

“There was no debate, there wasn’t even a returned phone call. It was a hard ‘no.’ It was about as hard of a ‘no’ as you could possibly get … It’s basically like a crappy relationship at the end where we should probably break up, but they kept on dangling the idea of doing this thing in front of me and then dangling other TV show ideas and stuff like that.”.

“What I think really happened was [‘Metalocalypse Now’ campaigners] drove Adult Swim insane. I think Adult Swim, for some reason, took it very personally. The truth was that people were saying, ‘Hey, what the hell? Where’s our show? We’re here for this show, can you give it to us? We’re gonna watch it like crazy,’ and [Adult Swim] said no. I think somebody’s thin-skinned and somebody got their feelings hurt.”

In a 2012 interview with MLiveSmall said that he conceptualized DETHKLOK‘s show after watching a live performance of GORILLAZ, another animated band fronted by Damon Albarn of BLUR.

“I always wanted to make a record, and find a way to tour it,” Small said. “I checked out GORILLAZ, who are talented, and have some of the best animation I’ve ever seen, but [because the musicians hid behind a screen, and the audience couldn’t see them,] there was no connection between performer and audience. It was cool and mysterious, but it didn’t give the audience what they want. We don’t look like [DETHKLOK], and we’re not supposed to, but at least you can see us playing. We’re like a pit band in that sense.”

DETHKLOK‘s latest album, “Metalocalypse: Dethklok Dethalbum III”, was released in October 2012 via Williams Street Records. The disc sold around 20,000 copes in the United States to land at position No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart.

The band’s previous CD, “Dethalbum II”, opened with 45,000 units back in October 2009 to enter the chart at No. 15.

“Dethalbum III” was once again co-produced by Smalland Ulrich Wild (“Dethalbum” and “Dethalbum II”).
