Production notes

The world's most popular heavy metal band leaves a trail of mayhem and destruction wherever they go. The comedy features ear-melting heavy metal and guest appearances by musicians like Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield of Metallica."

The show is basically about a (half-American/half-Norwegian) metal band that is about a hundred times bigger than The Beatles. But a million times more dangerous and a billion times more stupid. This show promises violent murder. Violent violent murder. And metal.

Flash animation.
