Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar Unleashing This August (TRAILER)

Set to be unleashed on Digital & Blu-ray on August 22nd, here's a look at the official trailer for Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar.

Back in April, fans of Brendon Small & Tommy Blacha's Metalocalypse were treated to a huge update showing them just how much better 2023 was about to get. That included intel on a nationwide tour spotlighting the series' on-screen band DETHKLOK and the new album Dethalbum IV. But all of that (including an accompanying soundtrack) was wrapped around the news that the full-length film Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar was on the way. Well, that day is here – well, at least for an official trailer. Set to hit Digital & Blu-ray on August 22nd, the original full-length movie begins after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth; DETHKLOK frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a brutal professional and romantic flat-spin, all while he is 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, here's a look at what you can expect when Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar gets unleashed upon our lives this August:

Written & directed by Small and produced by Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, the film stars Small, Tommy Blacha, Victor Brandt (Metalocalypse), Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner (Grammy Award-winning musician), King Diamond (KING DIAMOND; MERCYFUL FATE), Mark Hamill (Batman: The Animated Series; The Sandman), Kirk Hammett (METALLICA), Jon Hamm (Good Omens; Top Gun: Maverick), Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Amy Lee (EVANESCENCE), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Juliet Mills (Passions), Laraine Newman (Saturday Night Live, Ghosts), Raya Yarbrough (Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – a Klok Opera), and Livia Zita (2022 winner – Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Award).

Metalocalypse: New Music! Later this year, WaterTower Music will release the official film soundtrack for Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). But that's not all, because 2023 will also see Dethalbum IV drop around the time of the film's debut.
