If you’re a metal head and you’ve got a TV then you’ve probably seen Metalocalypse on the Cartoon Network‘s Adult Swim. The humorous show is about the fictitious metal band Dethklok which Brendon Small, the show’s creator and song writer, brings to life using animated back drops behind live musicians (including the legendary Gene Hoglan on drums!) playing the Dethklok tunes. Well Dethklok has just put out a new release, Dethalbum III, and so they’re hitting the road again. On Friday the 2nd of November 2012 they’ll be playing at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland and DCHeavyMetal.com wants to give you a free pair of tickets to this show! To enter just tell me who your favorite member of Dethklok is and why by leaving a comment on this post. Just to help remind you, the members are: Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Toki Wartooth, William Murderface and Pickles. On Friday, October 26th at 5pm EST one lucky winner will be picked at random (using Random.org) from all valid entries to win a pair of tickets to the show. If I don’t hear from you in 24 hours then I’ll pick another winner to get the tickets so be sure to use an email address you check regularly so you’ll be able to claim your prize. Don’t worry, I won’t add you to any email lists or anything like that, I hate spam too. If you enter more than once then all of your entries will be disqualified. And if you cannot make it to the show please don’t enter because I want people who can actually attend to get the tickets! If you simply can’t wait to find out if you have won or not, or the contest is already over, you can buy tickets to the show for $35 from Live Nation here.
Dethklok is the headliner but don’t think they’re the only band worth seeing on this tour because there are some killer support acts as well. Direct support comes from Boston’s All That Remains. Their new album, A War You Cannot Win comes out on November 6th and I’m betting you’ll be able to hear some of those new songs live at this show before it is even released! Machine Head will also be playing and these Bay Area shredders will be sure to bring the heavy. Be sure to get there early to check out opening act The Black Dahlia Murder as this Michigan band plays some of the songs from their latest album, Ritual, live for the first time in this area. Still not convinced this show is going to kick ass? Then check out the music videos below, one by each band, and enter the contest while you’re getting your headbang on!

Murderface because of his ‘stache
Skwisgaar because he ams the most brutals.

Toki cause he will fuck you up and he’s a better guitarist then Skwisgaar gives him credit for.
You’re the winner of the contest, congratulations!
William Murderface. He’s pissed off at the world… just like I am
Nathan Explosion. He is a god. And the only one with a trace of rationality.
I fucking loooove Pickles! He is my favorite.

Toki Wartooth! he likes animals…
My favorite is Pickles, because he is essentially based on me. Lol
Pickles because I always love the drummer and his named is based on the best type of food ever! Now if his name was just Fried Pickles…
Pickles all the way.
Skwisgaar. He’s always practicing hard, reminds me occasionally of Matti Kaerki’s vox in Dismember, I’m supremely jealous of his guitar skills, and I use his voice while playing Guitar Hero.
Pickles, for the beauty of the skullet
The Clown because he likes cocaine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if he dosent count then nathan he is the most imposing
Nathan because he’s so confused all of the time!
Toki because he’s a cat. (In his mind)
Can I say ‘Robb Flynn’ cause i don’t really care for Deathlok all that much, but would love to see Machine Head? And Black Dahlia Murder!
Nathan cause he’s the one id make out with in real life
Honestly, I don’t know because I don’t watch the show. But my friend does, and he wants to go next Friday. So I want to try to win the tickets for him! But I’ll randomly choose Pickles…since I like pickles. :)
Pickles, because who doesn’t love pickles! Especially fried, or wrapped in cheese!!!
Nathan Explosion because he is a genius
Charles Offdenson, although not a member with an instrument, is THE BEST character in Dethklok. He keeps all of them in line and makes sure nobody fucks with his bread & butter! Anyone does try to mess with them and he’ll whip out his MAD KUNG FU SKILLS! And/or knife skills.
I am so excited for this show. And the DVD comes out at the end of the month! Awesome, awesome stuff.
I loves toki because he is a child trapped in the body if a brutal dudes just like me! and he has a sweet stache and he’s not a bumble bee and he’s just awesome. But second best is William murderface murderface murderface…. Because PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Pickles: because he thanked beer and vodka after winning an award in an episode.
Pickles cause hes straight no chaser thanks brutha metal is my best friend
Pickles because i need a drink, not this one, a different one, in a different place
My favorite member of Dethklok is William Murderface. Nobody else seems to get the poor guy. He just wants everything to be easy. Don’t we all?
