Episode Description
On this episode of The David Ellefson Show, David and Joshua Toomey sit down with Brendon Small, the creator of Metalocalypse and frontman of Dethklok. Brendon talks about the upcoming Dethklok tour with Amon Amarth and what it takes to pull off two massive stage productions on the same bill. From screens and staging to keeping everything tight musically, he breaks down the real logistics behind a show of that size. The guys also celebrate 20 years of Metalocalypse and look back at how the show came together, what it means now, and how it helped bring extreme metal into living rooms everywhere. Brendon shares what he learned working on Home Movies, how that experience shaped his writing, and how he carved a path from Berklee College of Music to stand-up comedy and eventually to creating one of the most successful metal cartoons of all time.
