At long last, Brendon Small's dream of making another Metalocalypse movie has come true, and so has the collective dream of metal fans around the world now that it has been confirmed that Army of the Doomstar will arrive later this year.
It's been 10 years since Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem — A Klok Opera special was released on TV network Adult Swim, which was the home of all four Metalocalypse seasons.
But wait, there's more!
Sweetening the deal is a new Dethklok album, Dethalbum IV as well as a 29-date North American co-headlining Babyklok tour with kawaii metal favorites Babymetal, which stretches from Aug. 30 through Oct. 11. See all of those dates here.
“It’s very surreal having so much new Metalocalypse and Dethklok this year with the trifecta of the tour, movie and album,” comments Small, co-creator of the animated Metalocalypse series and Dethklok visionary/guitarist/vocalist. “I’m so excited to get on the road with the powerful Babymetal, and to celebrate all the hard work that team Metalocalypse and Dethklok put in over the last two years and beyond!”
A press release offers up a light synopsis of Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar, which was written and directed by Small and produced by Titmouse, Adult Swim and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, , as follows:
"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?"
Fans can expect a star-studded cast full of rock and metal's biggest icons as well, including Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Scott Ian (Anthrax), King Diamond, Amy Lee (Evanescence).
Even more star power is added by way of Victor Brandt (Metalocalypse) Mark Hamill (Batman: The Animated Series, The Machine), Jon Hamm (Confess, Fletch, Top Gun: Maverick), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Juliet Mills (Passions), Laraine Newman (Saturday Night Live), Raya Yarbrough (Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - A Klok Opera), and Livia Zita (2022 winner - Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Award) and, of course, co-creators Small and Tommy Blacha.
No official release date has been confirmed, just that the new movie will indeed arrive this year.

It took a little bit for me to properly read this because I seriously thought "Jon Hamm is in a metal band?" lmao
I sometimes forget just how influential Amy is in the rock/metal scene. I'm glad the narrative has flipped over the past several years and she's starting to get the credit she deserves.

I'm so excited. I was vaguely wondering about whether Amy could be in it since the film was announced. Was already ridiculously excited for the film before this!
I just really really want Dethklok to tour outside of US so there's a chance I can actually see them, genuinely one of my favourite bands.

Ok, so I watched the new Metalocalypse movie and just wanted to let you guys know that the role of Amy -and the rest of rockstars and big names in the movie- is very VERY brief. They are neither any specific character nor playing the role of themselves and each just voiced random people here and there. Only 2-3 lines and nothing else.
Here's our Amy. You can watch it in this trailer. She's the goth girl in the crowd telling Nathan "Where's our f*cking record?" and then a few seconds later "We love you! You're a god!" in a funny way 😁
Not what I expected but well, this is it... Other rockstars like Kirk Hammet and Scott Ian are pretty much just the same.

Yeah me too. I really hoped to see a specific well defined character even for just 1-2 minutes. but well ... Anyway ... Amy is happy about it since she's a massive fan of the series. That's enough for me ❤️

Got to watch it at the weekend, such a crazy feeling that something that I love, one of my favourite things that was cancelled, actually got resurrected and finished. I didn't even know the show when it was happening, my partner got me to watch it a few years after it was cancelled. We really love the music and reference lines and jokes from the show a lot. It's pretty rare to have another media about metal music and the fact it's so awesome and hilarious is just a bonus. I knew Amy had wanted and tried to get on the show ages ago, so the fact she finally got it is just cool as fuck. When watching I wasn't actually sure who she was at first cause there was a lot to take in, and cause she was screeching it didn't sound like her regular voice. Honestly her line is so funny, 'where's our fucking record?' I don't think she'll be able to live that one down! And I'm one of the Evfans who just wants Ev to take their time to make their music, no rushing! xD She does look pretty similar to me, by Metalocalypse standards. Some of the other cameos look a lot more different than their voices. I also love the girl standing near her wearing the 'explode me' t-shirt, I was wondering if maybe they considered dressing Amy's character in it at all. So the film itself, make sure to watch the whole show first, then Doomstar Requiem (klok opera film) then Army of the Doomstar. We rewatched Doomstar Requiem last week in preparation. So there was quite a lot of story events to get through, so definitely need full concentration. Some of the sound was a bit off, we couldn't hear some of the speaking very well so we turned on subtitles pretty quickly. That's my only minor complaint though. The music was awesome, and it was orchestral and symphonic similar to Doomstar Requiem which I LOVE. The comedy was still as great as usual, the characters all their stupid lovable selves. And importantly all the main story was properly finished! It's been in limbo for so long, it feels weird to actually get the ending! Most importantly, it was metal and brutal as fuck! So happy with the whole thing!  |
