Death Clock Metalocalypse teaser

by Adam Finley, posted Apr 25th 2006 12:02PM

devil signIf you never saw Home Movies, you missed one of the best shows to hit the airwaves in the last several years, animated or otherwise. The show fared okay on Adult Swim for a short time, after being rescued from UPN, but viewers gravitated toward weirder shows like Space Ghost and Aqua Teen, leaving Home Movies to eventually whither and fall off the vine. Well, as I mentioned before, creator Brendon Small is bringing a new show to Adult Swim in August called Death Clock Metalocalypse. The new show is about a world-famous death metal band and may seem a far cry from Small's other show about a shy but quick-witted kid who makes movies with his friends, but Small's love of RAWK was evident even on that show, especially in the form of older kid Dwayne and his garage band. Death Clock Metalocalypse sounds like the perfect mix of over-the-top, ear-busting chord thrashing mixed with the same dry and subtle humor as his earlier work. YouTube has an extended teaser for the new series, which you can watch after the jump. I've seen segments of this teaser on Adult Swim, but I'm not sure if they've ever played the whole thing or not. Enjoy, regardless.

Why are they doing the "I love you" sign? Do they not know that the hand sign for METAL is with the thumb touching the ring finger? With the thumb sticking out it means I love you. Details people...DETAILS! Just watch any live footage of the band Dio if you don't believe me. I would change that quick.

Hey, dette var fett ja, håper det kommer noe av det på Norsk tv, men tviler på at noen gidder å kjøpe opp dette så man får bare holde utkikk andre steder.

Rock on , bang that head that does not bang ,,/

Dette blir kult! Gleder meg som en unge, ser likhetstrekk med metallbandet i tegneserien Kollektivet..

I llve death metal, i also love adult swim and their wide range of comedy. If this show is anything like the preview ( to the point where i watch it 30 times ) then it will be a great addition to the network and will rank in with great reviews.

Home movies had great writing and casting. I miss it.

Hmmm. I was a HUGE fan of "Home Movies" (which always made me think of the wonderful, long-departed "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist," not least because of the presence of Loren Bouchard and H. Jon Benjamin), and still seek out the random repeat Adult Swim chooses to throw out.

But this definitely looks...different. I'll watch the premiere, because Brendon Small is a genius, but I'm definitely reserving judgment.
