About Metalocalypse:
Metalocalypse is Adult Swim's blackest, most brutal comedy. Coming straight to your face from Brendon Small (Home Movies) and Tommy Blacha, it centers around the band Dethklok, a global metal sensation with enormous economic power and social influence. Dethklok includes Nathan Explosion on vocals, Skwisgaar Skwigelf on lead guitar, Toki Wartooth on rhythm guitar, William Murderface on bass, and Pickles the Drummer as...himself. Unfortunately, these guys are more interested in boozing, doing drugs, and causing mass destruction than in putting out new albums. Their careless attitudes cause band manager Charles Ofdensen almost constant strife as he tries to salvage Dethklok's public image and protect them from a mysterious organization known as The Tribunal. Sign a pain waiver and head over to AdultSwim.com for the harshest comedy experience of your pathetic life.

I like how white is Swisgar's choice of color when wearing clothes and the only reason why he has to wear black is to match his band.

[@xibalbalon8668]

That's some really good symbolism if you want to dig deep

This actually just the coming of age ceremony for every Scandinavian. You're chased through the woods by some sort of monster or wolf and fall into a gorge or through the ice to find yourself in an ancient dungeon or temple and you're presented with your first guitar by some sort of god being or demon. You know, pretty normal stuff.

[@OleandyrTheGreatDragonGod]

Important note for anyone who happens to see this note, if you are being chased by wolves in real life, DO NOT run, they are faster than you and will catch up with you. Instead, stand your ground and try to intimidate them into fleeing. Whatever you do, DO NOT fall down, because that's when they will charge in and rip you to pieces.

[@daniellehwing4667]

1:37 - And that's why Skwisgaar's father is missing: He slipped the same way young Skwisgaar did here! For me this is the most subtle way to show his father and it is really cool to see that this is, in some way, how the father passed on his guitar to his son... amazing!

[@jessespringer7723]

That’s a good theory

[@Clarkaraoke]

Holy shit you're right. Major points for discovering this!!

[@Gunplabro]

That sword was the basis for what would become the master sword. Conan Books borrows a lot of pan European Ancient myths to tell its story about a land lost to history. And Zelda in turn grabbed a bunch of iconography from Conan. Such as the Master Sword and Triforce

[@verax0436]

Two years later and I still wonder if "thanking" her means...

[@ajackofdiamonds]

First off, I wonder if there was a conscious intention to relate the way he found his guitar to the way Conan found the atlantean blade in the original Conan the Barbarian. But also, I think there is, no joke, something kind of to this. Like symbolic representation of what music means to him, and how it elevated his experience. I like it, like sincerely, not just as a comedic backstory.

Plus to be fair in Skwisgaar’s case, I think the point is that it’s a rural part that no one’s ever heard of, which is a trend among all the members of Dethklok where a lot of them come from B-list cities at best
