This was how they came up with the idea of doing a show about a metal band that was vastly more popular than The Beatles had been. They went to metal shows around the same time they were both trying to pitch shows to different networks. Most episodes show the Tribunal attempting to covertly thwart the band by calling in various "specialists", such as "military pharmaceutical psychotropic drug manufacturers", "celebrity depression experts", or various legally compromised characters who attempt to infiltrate the group.īrendon Small's show Home Movies ended its run in 2004, which freed Small to spend time with writer friend Tommy Blacha. Salacia consistently overrules him to prevent this from happening. General Crozier, the military leader in the group, appears to desire either the death of the band's members or the dismantlement of the band itself, but Mr. Salacia", works off the premise that Dethklok's unusual powers are the result of an ancient Sumerian prophecy about an " Apocalypse of Metal". The Tribunal, led by a mysterious character named "Mr. Typically, episodes involve the Tribunal attempting to maintain and perpetuate public ignorance and rampant consumerism whenever Dethklok's antics inadvertently threaten to upset the status quo.
The band's unnatural popularity and trail of destruction has attracted the attention of an Illuminati-style group, known as The Tribunal, dedicated to monitoring Dethklok's activity and plans. Some actively seek to kill Dethklok, because of all the death their idiocy causes. In the episode "Dethgov", fans of Dethklok lynch the governor of Florida after he refuses to establish a holiday for lead singer Nathan Explosion, whom they then proceed to elect as governor against his will the karma gets them in the end, as Dethklok turns the state into a hellhole and makes the citizens demand Nathan's execution in hypocrisy. The band's popularity is such that impressionable fans will do anything for them, even if that means death, which is usually the case. The band is shown to have a callous disregard for the safety of their fans, as shown in the first episode where they pour scalding hot coffee over concertgoers. Dethklok concerts are so notoriously dangerous that those attending are required to sign "pain waivers" at the entrance, releasing the band from legal liability in the very likely case attendees are killed or maimed. The members of Dethklok tend to cause disaster wherever they travel, and anything remotely associated with them likewise attracts chaos. In fairness, the reason they are criminally negligent and guilty 2nd degree murderers, is because Dethklok are morons who have little to no common sense about daily life being unable to even fix their own meals, or handle finances.
Organizations worldwide, ranging from governments to businesses, go out of their way to avoid hindering Dethklok, to the point that the band is allowed to maintain its own police force and can get away with any crime imaginable with virtually no repercussions. If Dethklok endorses a product or service, competitors are quickly driven out of business. Their manager/nanny is Charles Foster Offdensen.
The fictional band members are Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Pickles, William Murderface and Toki Wartooth.
