Metalocalypse: Dethklok Documentary - The Making of Dethalbum 3

The bonus documentary on the Dethalbum 3 Deluxe Edition
Now go and buy this fucking amazing album!! Now!! Or Offdenson will have you beaten
Sorry about that fraps in the corner Its not usually there

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

What i love about Metalocalypse is that the music isn't half assed. Brendon Small actually writes just like a regular Death Metal musician. Even the lyrics are on point with brutal death metal while still being thought out in a clever manner.

[@moo-snuckle]

the only death metal album i own is the dethalbum. its a masterpiece

[@gustavvaip1600]

you make my coffers overflow with gold, you're living with your parents and you're 35 years old

[@mattbrendlen]

The songwriting is amazing... The production, however... maybe it's just me but I've always HATED the way the albums sound. It just really sounds SOOOOOO overproduced... like nobody was even in the same room. And maybe that's a personal thing... like I prefer to record live, with a vibe and a feeling, but man... the mixing is just muddy as hell (except for the guitars, of course) and the drums SOUND like they're direct-in from a drum machine. I'm probably alone in this, but the production sounds like pop music... and in my opinion hardcore/metal should have a more visceral feeling to the production. Then again, I'm not the biggest fan of speed metal. I'm more of a doom metal/shoegaze guy... and it's my understanding that Metallica fans LOVE "And Justice for All" (even though, objectively, that record sounds like absolute shit) so... I think maybe it's a choice?

[@DanePavitt]

Anyone else a little pissed we didn't get to see Brendon recording vocals?

Brendon Small is such an underrated musician and entertainer.

He does Nathan, Skwisgaar, Offendsen, Pick and how many others? And then plays the shite out of the guitar! 🙄

[@LaughS0L0ud]

I love how Brendan looks like the most everyday normal looking guy, and yet he's also a metal genius.

[@mattbrendlen]

All of the guys in Between the Buried and Me are big jazz nerds, but you'd never be able to tell from their music... well... the style of it, at least. Honestly, I love that the hardest music in the world, today, is usually written by guys that are like, "Yeah... I'm just gonna chill out with my green tea, and a good book" because I look back at the days of the hair metal "butt-rock" guys, and I just feel second-hand embarrassment for them. Like... all the dudes in Motley Crue are still desperately clinging to the days of their twenties, and it's like... they just look pathetic... The whole scene was pathetic...

[@deejay1040]

Brendon you fuck! Youve captured the heart of all beginner guitar players around the world and *don't even know it* ! 18:29! We all feel shitty compared to the actual professionals we listen to daily . We will never match the skill until we believe in what *practice* is. "tokies not a shitty guitar player, he gets nervous"! That is exactly what happens. "Im also tokie because I remember being a young guitar player: that ,for me, is me inside of toki". You are us when you were younger! "skwisgaar is the guy i wish i were" holy shit how many parallels do i need to make! you are the shining example of what practice and dedication will get you.

[@DeadGuye1995]

[@Xambgii]

one thing i like about this documentary is that they stress that they're on a deadline and it shows that even creative jobs like making a show or making any type of art such as music isn't all fun and games like a lot of people think it is.

[@gingeranagram2467]

Seeing Brendon play the Buckethead signature Les Paul at 0:31 makes me so happy 🙌🙌🙌

[@CreatureFeature666]

Saw Anthrax, Death Angel, and Testament about 3 years ago in Indianapolis. Gene Hoglan was playing with Testament and when Anthrax's drummer couldn't get a visa out of europe, Gene filled in for him that night. Just an incredible drummer! Was a kickass show!

[@CreatureFeature666]

@anonymous oh yeah, I remember!

[@volume10industries...24_7]

I met Gene at the Channel in Boston. Dark Angel was on the Time Does Not Heal tour. The singer Ron Reinhart had a broken arm because he dumped his Harley and the clutch handle went through the skin and pushed the elbow out. I walked over to Gene and we talked for a bit before he went on. He was using a rented drumkit from the band EZO. Of course he fucking nailed it! They all did. Brett Hoffman, from the band Viking, had just joined the band. Check out their album Man Of Straw. They were all amazing,. Eric Meyer and Brett worked very well together. And of course us old Dark Angel fans will always remember Eric and Jim Durkin playing so well together. There was a rumor that ex singer Don Doty was there that night but i didn't see him,.

[@sebassarria1]

Some of the riffs he comes ups with are killer. Makes them look easy too.

[@chosentonessournotes]

What's truly amazing is that he has come up with two of my favorite shows of all time, and one of them is like doing a television show AND a bunch of pretty sweet metal on top of it.

[@ImGazu]

He's stated before that the songs in season 1 and 2 were kind of on-the-spot for the episodes. Gene would play the drums and he would come up with a riff on the spot and they'd use it. That's pretty awesome considering most of those songs made it onto the albums

[@marcpp]

[@marcpp]

Leper Stepper not only made it to the albums but became instant classics..

[@JJofCascadia]

Tracking guitars is the bane of my existence but it's what i live for. I empathise completely about how precisely parts have to be tracked.

Dethalbum III was good, but not as good as Dethalbum II. THAT is the album that Brandon outdid himself on. I think he over-thought this album. It just didn't have the feeling the other 2 did. Still love it though, DIE FOR DETHKLOCK!!!

[@PeteRuska]

I like it more than Dethalbum but I think Dethalbum II is better than III. Dethalbum was pretty much just "stereotypical", because that's what Dethklok is meant to be, a stereotypical metal band but the best metal band in the world. In Dethalbum II I think they got serious as fuck and went way pass their potentials. And in Dethalbum III I think they were going for the stereotype but with a Dethalbum II feel, like they were going for the stereotypical metal sound but made it serious as well, which is why it's not as good as Dethalbum II but better than Dethalbum imo.

[@CellVoid]

to all the people hate on Brendon Small, he created a show in which the genre is looked down upon by people because of its subject matter, AND IT WORKED. He also, based off that show, had more than a few multiplatinum albums that sold more than any death metal albums EVER before. Then he made galaktikon which involves some pretty complex writing in its own right, Not to mention he has some of the biggest names in showbiz AND music playing for him, including Mark Hamill(I.E. star wars, batman) Gene Hoglan( probably one of the best drummers out there) and soooo many more, not to mention he did Home movies before, And now he has the Klok opera, wrote an entire operatic score just by himself.So what the fuck are you doing haters, except by jacking off in your moms basement drinkin the cheapest vodka you can find or smokin dirt ass weed you got from a guy that thinks he's a drug dealer but just found a patch in his neighbor's yard.

You know, I think the fact that the songs are rushed is partly the reason why they come out soooooo good. Your not sitting there overthinking every single sound and tone, your essentially forcing the song to stay simple, and the first initial thought of how you think the song should sound ends up being exactly what the song is. I think it's perfect and I love it
