Discovery Home Entertainment has announced they discovered a mastering error on the recently released complete series DVD boxset of Metalocalypse. This comes after many fans who purchased the set noticed the collection was missing Doomstar Requiem.

The following statement was released by WBD:

A mastering error has been discovered that affects select copies of Metalocalypse: The Complete Series DVD. The affected product is missing the special Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – A Klok Opera from one of the Season 4 discs. Unfortunately, a small quantity of product was sent to retailers before the issue was identified. Consumers who have purchased the title may contact WB Customer Support for a replacement disc at whv@warnerbros.com. Additionally, corrected product is currently being manufactured and will be shipped to retailers as soon as it is available.

Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment

The listing for the DVD version of the complete series has been removed from Amazon while WBD works to resolve this problem. iTunes is still selling it digitally with the missing special included.

This comes after many who recently purchased the digital version the Venture Bros. “complete” series noted that it was missing both Shallow Gravy: From the Ladle to the Grave and All That and Gargantua-2 specials bringing into question the quality control being done by WBD before releasing these sets of classic Adult Swim shows.

Metalocalypse News: New Film, Tour, and Dethalbum IV Coming Soon https://adultswimcentral.com/2023/04/11/metalocalypse-news-new-film-tour-and-dethalbum-iv-coming-soon/ https://adultswimcentral.com/2023/04/11/metalocalypse-news-new-film-tour-and-dethalbum-iv-coming-soon/#respond Tue, 11 Apr 2023 14:04:42 +0000 https://adultswimcentral.com/?p=513 The Adult Swim train keeps chugging along, this time with an old favorite. Metalocalypse is back! Announced today, the well-awaited Metalocalypse film, titled “Army of the Doomstar.” No date has been announced as of yet, but since it appears Venture Bros. has been in production, it shouldn’t be too far away. In addition, a tour with Japanese Kawai Metal band, BabyMetal as well as the release of the 4th Dethalbum are both on the way.

Info:

The long-awaited return of Adult Swim’s favorite heavy metal adventure “Metalocalypse” arrives with a nationwide tour of the series’ on-screen band DETHKLOK. A full-length original film, written and directed by Brendon Small, “Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar,” companion soundtrack and “Dethalbum IV” will also arrive this year.
 
DETHKLOK will kick off their twenty-nine-date national tour on August 30 with Japanese kawaii metal pioneers BABYMETAL as co-headliners and virtuoso guitarist Jason Richardson as support.
 
“It’s very surreal having so much new ‘Metalocalypse’ & DETHKLOK this year with the trifecta of the tour, movie and album,” said Small. “I’m so excited to get on the road with the powerful BABYMETAL, and to celebrate all the hard work that team ‘Metalocalypse’ and DETHKLOK put in over the last two years and beyond!”
 
The “BABYKLOK” tour will also include appearances at Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Alton, VA (Sept. 10), Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY (Sept. 23) and Aftershock in Sacramento, CA (Oct. 7).

Also coming later in 2023 is “Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar,” an original full-length movie written and directed by Brendon Small (“Metalocalypse”) 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 Machine”), Kirk Hammett (METALLICA), Jon Hamm (“Confess, Fletch”; “Top Gun: Maverick”), Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Amy Lee (EVANESCENCE), Malcolm McDowell (“A Clockwork Orange”), Juliet Mills (“Passions”), Laraine Newman (“Saturday Night Live”), Raya Yarbrough (“Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem – a Klok Opera”), and Livia Zita (2022 winner – Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Award).

The all-new animated 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?

As a special highlight, fans can also anticipate the release of two full-length albums this year WaterTower Music will release both the film soundtrack, “Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)” as well as “Dethalbum IV” around the launch of the film. Meanwhile, fans can summon DETHKLOK now by streaming old and new music with the Metalocalypse: Dethklok Complete Collection playlists. 

“Metalocalypse” originally premiered in 2006 on Adult Swim and was created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha.

Dethklok to Headline Tenacious D’s Festival Supreme in October https://adultswimcentral.com/2014/05/27/dethklok-to-headline-tenacious-ds-festival-supreme-in-october/ https://adultswimcentral.com/2014/05/27/dethklok-to-headline-tenacious-ds-festival-supreme-in-october/#respond Tue, 27 May 2014 17:23:00 +0000 https://adultswimcentral.com/?p=151 Lately, we haven’t heard much from Dethklok. The Upfronts a few weeks ago left us wondering if we’d hear from “The Greatest Death Metal Band on Earth” again. Now we have some sort of an answer: Tenacious D (the band made up of actor/comedian Jack Black and his buddy, comedian/actor Kyle Gass – both of whom appeared on an early episode of “Tom Goes to the Mayor”), will be having their annual “Festival Supreme” this coming October.

The event, which has been in existence a few short years, has featured many talents from the Swim universe (both Tim and Eric as well as The Mighty Boosh were there last year). This year will be no different… along with Dethklok, the show will also feature Eric Andre, The State, Fred Armisen & Bill Hader, Heidecker & Wood, Kumail Nanjiani, Norm MacDonald, Janeane Garofalo, Maria Bamford, Nick Kroll, Natasha Leggero, and Ron Lynch… all of which have (or will soon) appear on Swim at one point or another.

The event isn’t until October 25th (but let’s face it… October will be here before you can say “New York Comic-Con.” Tickets are now available at www.festivalsupreme.com and the show will be out at the L.A. Sports Arena & Exposition Park. Hopefully, by October we’ll have some more substantial Metalocalypse news, outside of “The future looks bright.”
