Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar is bringing the heaviest metal band ever created back together again for an action-packed journey. The long-awaited return of Adult Swim’s favorite heavy metal adventure arrives with an all-new, full-length animated movie. But that’s not all! In addition to the original film, written and directed by Brendon Small, a companion soundtrack and Dethalbum IV will also arrive this year.
While you wait, check out a first-look clip from Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar below! The movie will be available to purchase Digitally and on Blu-ray on August 22, 2023.
In the clip, “Pickles struggles to keep everyone focused in church as William Murderface, Toki, and Skwisgaar cause distractions.”
“The all-new animated movie begins 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 to 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?”
