Adult Swim has announced that DETHKLOK will hit the road this fall in the upcoming headline tour with All That Remains, Machine Head, and special guest The Black Dahlia Murder. Kicking off on October 30 in Norfolk, VA, the tour ~ featuring the band from the Metalocalypse animated series ~ will make more than 30 stops throughout the United States and Canada before coming to an end in Atlanta, GA. As in tours past, bringing DETHKLOK to life on stage will be Metalocalypse co-creator Brendon Small on guitar and lead vocals, legendary drummer Gene Hoglan, bass guitarist Bryan Beller and guitarist Mike Keneally. This line-up of talented musicians will be joined by Nathan Explosion, William Murderface, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Pickles and Toki Wartooth in all-new animation from Titmouse Studios that will play behind the live musicians.
In addition to announcing news of this fall tour, Adult Swim’s Williams Street Records has premiered the new music video for “I Ejaculate Fire,” the first single off of the band’s upcoming album, Metalocalypse: Dethklok Dethalbum III, which is available for viewing at Spin.com. The single appears as the opening track on the album and is available for download in the iTunes® store.
Metalocalypse: Dethklok Dethalbum III will be released on October 16 in a variety of formats including a standard CD, clean CD and Deluxe Edition CD/DVD combo, which will include a 32-minute behind-the-scenes documentary of the making of Dethalbum III, as well as music videos and more. A vinyl edition of the album with special etching will also be released on November 6, 2012.
With The Black Dahlia Murder as the openers, and Machine Head and All That Remains alternating direct support positions in the line-up in each city (check your local tour listing for the solidified line-up), the Dethklok North American headliner tour includes a stop at The Palladium in Worcester on 11/4/2012.
