DETHKLOK, the stars of the Adult Swim series “Metalocalypse”, have announced two shows for this summer and fall: at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Alton, Virginia in September and at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California in October.
DETHKLOK hasn’t done a proper tour in 11 years, and has only played three shows since hitting the road in the U.S. with MACHINE HEAD, ALL THAT REMAINS and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER in November and December 2012, at the 2014 Festival Supreme and the 2019 and 2022 editions of the Adult Swim Festival Block Party.
DETHKLOK‘s most recent touring lineup consisted of main-man Brendon Small (guitar, vocals) along with Gene Hoglan on drums, Nili Brosh on second guitar and Pete Griffin on bass. Their latest album, “Metalocalypse: Dethklok Dethalbum III”, was released in October 2012 via Williams Street Records. The disc sold around 20,000 copes in the United States to land at position No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous CD, “Dethalbum II”, opened with 45,000 units back in October 2009 to enter the chart at No. 15.
