Dethklok Enters the Billboard Top 200 at Number 15

Eric J — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:00:02 +0000

Heavy metal juggernauts Dethklok have exploded onto the Billboard Top 200 again with the release of “Dethalbum II ”, selling nearly 45,000 copies in its first week!! The ferocious new record from the stars of the Adult Swim series Metalocalypse debuted at #15 on the Billboard Top 200 six spots higher then their debut album “Dethalbum” back in 2007.

Metalocalypse creator Brendon Small had this to say about the chart debut of DETHKLOK’S “Dethalbum II”:

“I’m both happy and humiliated that DETHALBUM 2 reached number 15. Happy because we beat the first DETHALBUM numbers and humiliated to have been beaten by our second album numbers by ourselves. Either way we’re still not as good as the Archies and I never want to forget that. Having said all of that, dear god I am fantastic and talented.”

The September 27 release of Metalocalypse: Dethklok’s “Dethalbum II ” coincides with the start of Season 3 of Metalocalypse on Adult Swim in November. The third season of Metalocalypse will pick up right where Season 2 left, and this season the episodes will be thirty minutes long.

Be sure to pick up the record-breaking new CD, Metalocalypse: DETHKLOK’S “Dethalbum II”, and be sure to catch DETHKLOK live on tour!!!

iPod Classic 80g | If You’ve Got The Means I Highly Suggest

Scott — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 01:29:02 +0000

I got my birthday present last Friday. A bit early but who’s counting days. I debated buying the iPod Nano because I like the size but I didn’t like the size of the memory. 8 gigs just didn’t quite seem enough and I figured for another 50 bucks why not get the iPod Classic 80 gb.

A new feature called “Coverflow” allows you to flip through your library by viewing the album cover. This is all great just as long as you have an album cover for most of your music, otherwise you’ll be working hard to add it later to stuff that perhaps you didn’t download legally or ripped without album info.

The scrolling wheel is awesome and very responsive. Right now I have about 5700 songs, two full length movies, the first season of Metalocalypse, the first season of Robot Chicken, ATR live DVD, the Pantera DVD thats from the best of cd set, a few various internet videos and some photos and I still have about 50gb left. If you want to rip DVD or even convert videos files to iPod you will need a converting program. They are easy to find on Cnet.com and most are freeware.

The video screen you would think is not big enough to enjoy a movie or video on but its plenty big enough to enjoy that and more. I’ve waited for so long to get a GOOD mp3 player and when I won the iPod Shuffle from work it just made me want a better one. I thought about a Zune but I heard too many undesirable things about it like the fact that it doesn’t run off of Windows Media Player like you would think.

There are other iPods like the iPod Touch but it is much more expensive and only has 8 gb. Sure you can sit there and play, molesting it all days putting grubby fingerprints all over it but in the end you can only put so much on it.

Drawbacks? The shiny chrome backing (although looks really nice) and screen are terrible for attracting fingerprints. I would suggest a nice rubber or plastic cover for it. You can pick up some pretty rugged ones that will help prevent damage and keep it in good shape. One last thing, the more stuff you put on it like any computer or hard drive based electronics, the slower response you get.

Overall I love it! If you’ve got the means…I highly suggest!

For the record, No thats not MY iPod in the picture and I don’t have any Nelly Furtado on my iPod.

Dethklok Debut at #21 on the Billboards

Scott — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 23:56:39 +0000

The animated death metal band Dethklok from the Cartoon networks adult swim’s Metalocalypse are tearin up the billboards at # 21 with the release of The Dethalbum! The animated, hell-raising headbangers are bigger than any other animated band in history. Selling over 35,000 copies in the first week of sales can surely get them some cartoon poon! Maybe Jose and the Pussycats will stop backstage sometime for them, thats if they know how to get past the roadies…who knows.
