This review is from: Dethalbum II Deluxe Version (CD + DVD) (Audio CD)
In a recent scientific study 99.98% of people listening to Dethalbum II die... instantly... in a bloody explosion. Survival rate after initial exposure is nominal as long as you head bang constantly.
As for the album:
- Nathan Explosion graces us with some high pitched growls. Probably the most common cause of instant deth associated with listening to the album.
- Skwisgaar makes "demonically fast" seem like "unicornally slow" with his supreme command of a guitar. My fingers bleed just listening to the album.
-Not sure if Toki even plays on this album.
-Murderface made all sandwiches that were consumed during the making of this album and it really shows. He makes a brutal sandwich.
-Pickles never disappoints. What he lacks in hair he makes up in 16th note double bass pedal beats.
As for the bonus DVD:
Sure we don't get bonus songs but we must be thankful for what Dethklok did give us. A whole set of brutal music videos...Read more

Can a "fake" band save mainstream metal? I think it's possible,

This review is from: Dethalbum II Deluxe Version (CD + DVD) (Audio CD)
Dethklok, a "fake" band from the Adult Swim series "Metalocalypse" has released their 2nd CD, Dethalbum II. The first Dethalbum was a fun little CD to play for your friends and joke around about how it was based on a cartoon band, Dethalbum II is a completely different monster. Is Dethklok a novelty band? Yes. Do they have some outlandish lyrics and song titles? Yes, but then again, no more than some of the more popular metal bands that have been around for years now. Is Dethalbum II a CD to just write off as a joke? Not at all. When listening to this cd after the first one, you actually hear growth from the band as musicians. This Cd is full of catchy riffs and drum beats that you can't really help but enjoy. Sure the lyrical content isnt going to win Brendan Small a Grammy for songwriting, but turn on your local Rock radio station and listen to what those bands have to say. Trust me, it isn't any better. Now before I get a bunch of negative comments, I am in no way saying that...Read more

After the first Dethalbum I could not imagine them topping that, but Brendon Small has outdone himself.
This album has more intricate layers of rhythm guitar and more symphonic effects. The videos somewhat console me for missing the live tour. Getting the deluxe edition for almost 1 hr of music videos was well worth it in my opinion.
Anyways, I can't stop listening to this album and I think my ears are bleeding as I'm typing this review.
