The new Metalocalypse Christmas special reveals how Dethklok, metal's most brutal band, commemorates this special time of year: Bickering about a secret Santa plan, trying to dodge their mothers, and putting together a cursed Christmas show.
And it wouldn't be Christmas without snow, provided, naturally, by rock 'n' roll clown Dr. Rockzo.
The Christmas special, titled "Dethmas," offers a rare look into the holiday season for Dethklok, the thrash-metal band with a gross income ranking it as the world's seventh-largest economy. The first six minutes of the animated special are now online for viewing any time you need a shot of heart-warming holiday cheer, courtesy of Adult Swim.
Dethklok bassist William Murderface (pictured below), would-be ringleader of the doomed Christmas show within a show, agreed to stab Wired.com in the face repeatedly while answering a few seasonal questions. But be forewarned: This interview is for a mature (perhaps foolish) audience. Reading it may cause severe yuletide bleeding.
Wired.com: What are your top musical influences?
William Murderface: There's a cat in my neighborhood. I think she's in heat or something. But, musically she's doing things that I've never heard and I'm constantly trying to re-create that.
Wired.com: During the holiday season, what's your favorite food?
Murderface: It doesn't matter if it's Christmas, if I'm on the road or at home. My favorite food will always be my favorite food. And that's horse.
Wired.com: Some say metal is dead. What do you say to them?
Murderface: I say all art is double-dead-dildo-tits-hold-the-onions.
Wired.com: Where in the world are you most popular?
Murderface: In my front hallway when I'm spotted by my dog when I come home.
Wired.com: What's the coolest thing about being in the band?
Murderface: Getting backstage to meet myself.
Wired.com: What's the most brutal thing about being on tour?
Murderface: I'd have to say drunk-driving the tour bus.
Wired.com: Who gets the most girls on tour?
Murderface: I'd have to say the Jonas Brothers.
