Our boy Rob over at Metal Injection recently conducted an phone interview with the almighty Dethklok for the Metal Injection Brain Damage podcast. Because I helped Rob out with the questions, and because I have no sense of modesty whatsoever, I’ve included the podcast below for your listening pleasure. Topics include Dr. Rockso the Rock N’ Roll Clown, the band’s upcoming tour, and, of course, the band’s adopted son, Fatty Ding Dongs (not to be confused with Eddie Van Halen’s biological son).

Brain Damage: DETHKLOK Interview Special

Thanks to Rob for getting on the phone with these dudes so I don’t have to. I hate talking to people on the phone. Or in person, for that matter.

Speaking of Dethklok, they finally announced their tour dates with …And You Will Kow Us by the Trail of Dead, the non-metal band with the most metal name of any non-metal band, ever (save for the Starland Vocal Band, of course). Right now, the tour seems to exclusively be hitting universities, and is coming nowhere near NYC, thus settling my debate about whether or not I’d actually go see a live flesh n’ blood incarnation of my favorite cartoon band.
