[This is the] the metal-est show ever made. As in metal the likes of which will melt your distinctively less metal face right off.October 04, 2018
Despite the promising kitsch of '80s hair band nostalgia and the hilarity of Murderface's squared-off afro, Metalocalypse suffers from a lack of smart humor and a plot that never really takes off.October 04, 2018
When a show can feature Kirk Hammett as the voice of the Queen of Denmark, you know the show doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you.February 11, 2020
Mind-numbingly hysterical and highly addictive.October 04, 2018
What happens when all the members of Dethklok find a side project? Hilarity, that's what.October 05, 2018
Like so many death-metal songs, the episodes are manic and short (about 12 minutes apiece), but that's fine; humor this enjoyably unrestrained is best taken in small doses.February 11, 2020
Rarely as funny as it wants to be, Metalocalypse makes up for it with its guest stars and awesome musical sequences. In fact, it's almost as if the show was pitched solely as a reason to put out a CD.October 04, 2018
Mixing cult conspiracies with apocalyptic events might not be an obvious target for hilarity, but the pitch-black humor from Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha is infectious.February 11, 2020
Metalocalypse shows a fair amount of promise, but is a long way from establishing the kind of riffs necessary to make it worthy of holding up your cigarette lighter and bobbing your head up and down.February 11, 2020
As Spinal Tap's David St. Hubbins says, "It's such a fine line between the stupid and the clever." Metalocalypse, unfortunately, waffles between the two.February 11, 2020
Metalocalypse is at once incredibly, willfully stupid and weirdly pure, which is to say the actual metal world will likely approve of it.February 11, 2020
It's the same old "That's sooo random, dude!" fare that Adult Swim serves up with reckless abandon... It has no meaning and no story at all and "random" is the highest accolade it can possibly achieve.
