Goblins, dragons, video games, and cartoons — talk about a nerdy metalhead's dream come true. DETHKLOK's "Mutilation on a Spring Night" tour brought those dreams to life for fans at The Criterion in Oklahoma City with support from DRAGONFORCE and NEKROGOBLIKON.
Seeing DETHKLOK perform is like being fully immersed in an episode of "Metalocalypse," kind of like a VR experience, but it's completely real. Brendan Small's live band is just a silhouette on stage with the focus being on the characters on the screen. You can see Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Toki Wartooth, William Murderface, Pickles the drummer, and Nathan Explosion shredding on the big screen, while the live band is playing. It's the most fun you'll have watching a cartoon and seeing the Adult Swim classic come to life. There's truly nothing else like it. Not to mention how incredibly talented the band is live (and in general). When those who are unfamiliar think of a cartoon metal band, I'm sure they don't think of anything that could actually be serious and good, but they would be sorely mistaken. DETHKLOK truly is "the world's greatest cultural force." The band released their most recent album "Dethalbum IV" last year and ripped through some of those newer songs, but focused heavily on a lot of their classics too.
DRAGONFORCE is like watching a video game happen in real time. Their stage setup is unreal with dragons and large replicas of old school arcade consoles complete with colorful stage lights and clouds of fog. What else does a metalhead nerd need at a concert? Well, openers NEKROGOBLIKON brought the goblin metal to the stage and I'm not sure there's anything more fun than that. Seeing a goblin dance on stage to death metal — it doesn't get any weirder or any better.
