Overview
Part-American, part-Scandinavian death-metal band Dethklok has a lingering effect on its fans, who take the words seriously and do anything Dethklok lyrics say. The government fears the band's influence and sets out to destroy it by covert means; for example, by sending military pharmaceutical psychotropic drug manufacturers. Deemed sociopaths for tossing hot coffee at their concert attendees, two of the band members are alcoholics, and they all have self-esteem issues.

Leans Traditional
Primary
Metalocalypse is a dark comedy and satire that critiques various forms of power, incompetence, and societal absurdity, including unchecked corporate influence and secretive government organizations, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features a primarily traditional cast, with the main characters being male and appearing white, consistent with the genre's typical portrayals. The narrative focuses on satire of celebrity culture and societal absurdities, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
The show frequently satirizes Christian-adjacent themes, depicting religious figures as ineffectual or foolish, and the public's religious fears as irrational. The narrative uses 'Anti-Christ' tropes to highlight Dethklok's destructive influence, but the religious response is consistently portrayed as misguided or easily manipulated.
Metalocalypse primarily focuses on the satirical adventures of the death metal band Dethklok, exploring themes of fame, consumerism, and the metal music industry. The show does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, and queer identities are not part of its narrative or character development.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Metalocalypse is an original animated series, not an adaptation or reboot of existing material. All characters were created for the show, meaning there is no prior canon from which a character's gender could have been swapped.
Metalocalypse is an original animated series, not an adaptation of prior material with pre-established character races. The characters' races are consistent with their initial depiction within the show, therefore no race swaps occurred.
