It’s musically far superior than the first two. That’s the biggest change to come about in Dethalbum III. The first album was excellent, I thought, and the songs on the second one sound like they must have worked well as soundtrack bits on the show, but not necessarily stood up on the sheer strength of their musical content. Honestly, I’m not a big cartoon fan and never really bothered to watch Metalocalypse after its first season, so the music alone matters to me more than anything else, and I only get to listen to it via these Dethalbums, and not on the show itself. While I enjoyed most of Dethalbum I, the follow-up Dethalbum II was a bit disappointing from the musical point of view. I think that’s enough of an intro, now I’ll come to the music on this new album.
Along with touring guitarist Mike Keneally, they perform gigs under the Dethklok name and bring this music on to the stage. For those who are new, the real-life version of Dethklok comprises of Metalocalypse co-creator Brendon Small on vocals, guitar & keyboards, Gene Hoglan on drums and Bryan Beller on bass, These three musicians compose and record music that’s released as the ‘Dethalbums’, and also used as soundtracks on the cartoon show. Extreme metal band Dethklok, better known for their animated version on Adult Swim’s “Metalocalypse” series, are ready to release their third studio album, simply titled ‘Dethalbum III’, which hits American stores today, on October 16th 2012 via Williams Street Records.
