Brendon Small Talks Metalocalypse Now Campaign

Metal Injection correspondant Robert Pasbani chatted with Metalocalypse creator Brendon Small about the MetalocalypseNow campaign and potential return of the show, what his ideas for the end of the show could be, his influences in music, and writing a new Dethklok album.

On possible new Dethklok material: "I've got a hard drive full of stuff that I really like. Whether or not this happens, you're going to get new music. I divide up my day writing for future TV shows, writing stand-up and writing music. It's really nice to toggle between those three things and go into my Pro-Tools rig, use it like a sketch pad, circle my favorite things and go 'OK, this is starting to sound like a song.' My rule is, if I like it a lot, I want other people to hear it. That's how every other Dethklok record has been. If I wanna hear it, I put it out and hope other people feel the same way.

On influencing cartoon fans to get into metal: "My favorite thing about the show has been when people say 'I don't know anything about metal, but I love Dethklok. What else can you recommend?' Here are all my influences, and the people that influenced those influences... there's a whole world."
