Metalocalypse is an American musical adult animated television series created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha for Adult Swim. It premiered on August 6, 2006. The television program centers on the larger-than-life melodic death metal band Dethklok, and often portrays dark and macabre content, including such subjects as violence, death, and the drawbacks of fame, with hyperbolic black comedy. The show was widely heralded as both a parody and a pastiche of heavy metal culture.

Dr. Rockso: I'm Dr. Rockzo, the rock and roll clown! I do cocaine!
  • Dr. Rockso the rock n roll clown loves cocaine
  • The series creators had the final designs for most of the band members finished when the show went into production, except for Pickles, who went through twenty or more design concepts before finally settling on the current character.
  • Dr. Rockso's real name is Leonard Rockstein
  • The name of the grocery store in the first episode is "Fintroll's" a reference to the Finnish folk-metal band Finntroll. Other references to metal bands include the restaurants "Burzum" and "Dimmu Burger" (as a reference to "Dimmu Borgir") the outdoor store "Marduk's" and the hardware store "Gorgoroth".
  • Part way through the first season of the show, the band became endorsed by EMG pickups. Later episodes were changed to reflect the endorsement, with all pickups on the guitars and basses being changed to EMG. However early episodes and the show's intro remained the same, with the guitars and bases using the original stock Gibson pickups.
