Adult Swim’s brutal boy band is back together this month as the all-new original animated movie Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar hits shelves! Offering a mic check ahead of the August 22 Digital and Blu-Ray release through Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, check out a never-before-seen clip and image from the flick.
In the new clip “Dethklok Hate Church,” Pickles struggles to keep everyone focused in church as William Murderface, Toki and Skwisgaar cause distractions.
Film Synopsis: After the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth, Dethklok frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a brutal professional and romantic flat-spin all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge: write the “Song of Salvation” and save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?
