Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar Preview: Dr. Rockzo Preaches
In this Adult Swim, Brendon Small & Tommy Blacha's Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar clip, Dr. Rockzo preaches about the ultimate "party."
That sound you hear? That's the sound of Adult Swim, Brendon Small & Tommy Blacha's Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar getting ready to unleash itself upon us in less than a week. The full-length, series-continuing film kicks off after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth, with DETHKLOK frontman Nathan Explosion finding himself traumatized by a brutal professional & romantic flat-spin. Making it even worse? All of this is happening as he's tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge to save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil… Salacia? With that in mind, it feels like the perfect time to hear a sermon from Dr. Rockzo about that big party in the sky that awaits us all. Yup, it's as brutally trippy as you would expect…
