Konami and Cartoon Network Enterprises Partner to Bring the Brutal Adventures of Dethklok to Next Generation Consoles This Fall
EL SEGUNDO, CA – JULY 22, 2009 – Konami announced today that a video game based on the hit Adult Swim series Metalocalypse is currently in development for Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®Network. Created by series co-creator Brendon Small and based on the top-rated Adult Swim animated series, the upcoming Metalocalypse: Dethgame will immerse players into the world of Dethklok, the world’s most brutal Norwegian heavy metal band.
“Konami is excited to partner with Cartoon Network Enterprises on Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse,” said Careen Yapp, Vice President of Licensing and Business Development for Konami. “Our position as industry leader in creating unique gaming experiences through licensed material coupled with Adult Swim’s pedigree as leader in creating ground-breaking programming is what is going to make Metalocalypse such a great project for us to publish.”
“Since its debut on Adult Swim, Metalocalypse has built a solid fan base and become synonymous with two things – animated destruction and metal,” said Christina Miller, vice president, Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of Adult Swim. “Working closely with Konami and the show’s creators, we have found a way to incorporate both of those qualities into our first video game for the brand and provide a truly authentic gaming experience.”
“We have gone above and beyond and found the biggest nerds in the industry to help develop and deliver what will without a doubt be the most successful downloadable cartoon death metal game in recorded history,” said Small. “I defy anyone to find another death metal cartoon that can claim the same. But I think the most important thing to remember beyond the record setting CD sales and astounding ratings and growing rabid fans around the world is that this game is going to be a blast to play. I am very excited to be a part of making video games metal."
In Metalocalypse: Dethgame, players will be immersed in the world of Dethklok. As a Klokateer, one of the band’s loyal roadies, players will be unleashed on a heinous rampage against rabid mutant fans in brutal combat. Fight mutants, explore the rooms and dungeons of Mordhaus and protect the METAL faithful. All of this action set to the music of Dethklok, including tracks from the best-selling Dethklok: The Dethalbum. Additionally, the game will feature three all-new songs from Williams Street Records’ Dethklok 2which will be available later this fall. Complete with mini-games,Metalocalypse provides an optimal gaming experience rarely seen in a downloadable game.
Developed by Frozen Codebase, Metalocalypse is slated for release in Q4 2009. For more information on Metalocalypse, please visit:www.konami.com/metalocalypse

Interview for the Gear Heads
When Brendon Small penned the first episodes of Adult Swim’sMetalocalypse, he was quickly realizing that his other great passion – the guitar – was becoming just as essential as the punch lines he delivered on the animated cult hit. In a sense, he had truly come full circle. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music in 1997, Small opted for a comedian’s life by honing his stand-up act and eventually creating the animated series Home Movies. It wasn’t until he conceived the dark, bloody, and extremely humorous world of the fictional band Dethklok that he was able to once again truly find a suitable outlet for his music……. See the rest here
OUTBURN MAGAZINE COVER!
COVER STORY – See the full story
DETHKLOK: Forget about amps that go to 11 and alien monsters from Antarctica, Dethklok is the real deal…in hyperbolic 2D! Their brutal brand of death metal and animated comedy noir antics have captivated millions across the globe, thanks to the television show Metalocalypse on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Dubbed the world’s greatest cultural force and the seventh largest economy, Dethklok recently graced us mere mortals with a second epic album, the ingeniously titled Dethalbum II, as well as a coast-to-coast tour in support.
Of course, the flesh and bone behind Dethklok’s ink and metal, as well as the co-creator/writer and star of Metalocalypse, is Brendon Small, the Berklee graduate who writes, plays, and sings all of the band’s music. Small has enlisted the aid of legendary drummer Gene Hoglan to bring the albums to life, along with touring members Mike Keneally (guitars) and Bryan Beller (bass). Taking a break from their hectic schedule, Small and Hoglan delve into the depths of Dethklok lore to enlighten us all.
