There's a fine line between being funny and being a joke. Thankfully, the debut album from Dethklok, the band at the core of Adult Swim's hit animated series Metalocalypse lands squarely in the former category. Performed by series co-creator Brendon Small (Tommy Blacha is Small's creative partner)--with a lot of help from metal drum legend Gene Hoglan (Death Angel, Strapping Young Lad)--songs such as "Birthday Dethday," "Face Fisted," and "Awaken" tap into the unapologetic musical brutality of death metal, while highlighting the often confusing ambiguity of the genre's lyrics. Progressive taxes ("Detharmonic"), the disappointment and seemingly endless cycle of higher education ("Go Forth and Die"), and the obligatory kiss-off to moist-palmed computer geeks who spew vitriol from the safety of Internet chat rooms ("Fansong"), provide the fodder for Small's hilarious, subtle, intelligent and highly quotable lyrics. Make no mistake: The Dethalbum isn't going to supplant your favorite At the Gates or Slayer recordings, but it will provide hours of amusement and joy--perhaps the very enemy of death metal itself, perhaps the very thing that makes Metalocalypse one of the funniest shows on cartoon TV these days and Dethklok the truest rock band since Spinal Tap. --Jedd Beaudoin
Album Description
Mighty Dethklok returns this fall with The Dethalbum, the full length record Metalocalypse fans have been begging for. Premiering last year on Adult Swim, Metalocalypse centers around the exploits of the biggest, most metalest band in the world, Dethklok. As the band goes about their daily affairs, the evil (well, more evil) Tribunal tries in vain to stop Dethklok from expanding their empire. Each episode features a new song from the band and now the best of those tracks have been expanded, re-recorded and put together with all new songs to make the Dethklok album fans have been clamoring for. Prepare for an onslaught of bone-crunching Nordic riffs that will force you to your knees. The Metalocalypse has begun.

 Melts Your Face Off August 7, 2008

The fact that this album is associated with a cartoon is completely irrelevant.
If your soul craves the blissful abuse only brought about by hard, HARD music, the answer is Dethklok.
To put it bluntly, Dethklok, AKA Nathan Explosion, et.al., AKA Brendan Small et.al., found the balls Metallica lost blowing their 'Load', skewered them with a sottering iron, fed them to a summoned Kraken, and road the Kraken to kick Metallica's A**.
All while Old Man Dio watched through moistened eyes and clapped his hands in glee.
If you like Metal, you'll love Dethklok.
 Waste of time! (LP Record Version, not CD) July 15, 2008

Alright so I'm a total audiophile, I try to buy all my records on vinyl because of the better quality vinyl provides, and I got excited when I saw that they were releasing The Dethalbum on vinyl, because that was my favorite album of 2007, and I was so excited when the UPS man handed it to me today.
But then I opened it and put it on the old turn table.
IT SOUNDS LIKE S***!
One, the quality is awful, it sounds like it's a bad LimeWire download. Honestly. Two, it's sped up. That's right. The entire album is sped up so they could fit it all on one disc, which isn't too noticeable except for the fact that the pitch is a little higher, only a select few will really notice it. A 16 track album on one disc, c'mon, Williams Street, you guys could do better than that! I think if they had stretched it to a Double Disc like it should've been, it would sound PERFECT, but they probably figured most Dethklok fans don't own a record player, and they'd be right about that, but seriously, at least give the die hards a decent sounding record!
I give this album two stars because it's a picture disc and it looks really cool, so it's a good novelty to have, just don't plan on listening to it any time soon because it's a waste of time.
EDIT: The Go Into The Water remix is just the regular version of Go Into The Water with an annoying constant double bass in the background, not worth it.
 There's something that I love about this CD: June 25, 2008

I was just listening to this again after finding it in my CD collection and I can't wait for a sequel even if it's just a CD only and I've heard that they may be working on a followup, in my opinion this is some of the best death metal that I've ever heard, the guitar runs are incredible in spots and I love that sort of gutteral growl that the lyricist does. This is comparable to the CD Demigod by Behemoth. But this is a chunkier sounding version.

While Dethklok may be an imaginary band made up of two people, you wouldn't know it listening to this album. All the instruments are played with such precision that the only real hint that this is not a real band would be in the lyrics. Regardless, this album is an excellent listen. Melodic lead guitar harmonies, excellent riffs, and all around fun. I definitely recommend picking this album up if you are a fan of metal at all. I also recommend checking out Metalockalypse on Adult Swim if you haven't seen it already... it is a wildly entertaining show.
