Brendon Small's career has taken him from music student and aspiring guitar hero to creator of some of the best animated comedies on TV. His first show, Home Movies, was part of the original lineup of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Although Brendon wrote the music for Home Movies, he didn't find an outlet for his love of wicked guitar shredding until he created Metalocalypse.

Metalocalypse is the saga of Dethklok, the biggest and most brutal metal band in the world. When they're not fighting amongst...

One of my all time favourites! Can't get enough of it. Only complaint is that I want him to write a full length version of sewn back together wrong.

I <3 Home Movies and Metalocalypse!

Thunderhorse is still one of my fave songs from Guitar Hero 2! I own both Metalocalypse 1 & 2 on DVD and I'm currently drooling over the new Home Movies collection...

Home Movies is one of my favorite shows ever, but I find Metalocalypse unfunny and incredibly grating, especially compared to the former's utterly gentle sensibility.

I love Brendon Small. He's one of the people I'd probably go all horrible fan girl over.

Their show in Austin was killer! It was like being inside the cartoon...
The most children I've ever seen at a metal show, too.

I love Metalocalypse and Brendan Small. Reading this seriously tickled my pickle.. was like "OH SHIT, NO WAY!" when I saw this

Zazzy interview ... I was pretty convinced each character was based on someone.. interesting that nathan is really the only one

I own both albums and the second season... Planned to go to the show, but it was Dethklok or Bodom and Bodom is my fave so... missed out on that action

Dieing for season three to continue

Goddammit I love Metalocalypse. So fucking awesome. It helps that Brendon Small is a cool dude and not some asshole who leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of his fans, too. Whenever I read interviews with him he always seems really chill and pleasant.

His myspace page could use a few more pics, but other than that I greatly admire his work, and I have both albums. I would put home movies and metalocalypes way above shows like southpark in a heartbeat. I used to like south park alot, but damn it's just not as funny. Keep up the good work B. Small.

Sweet interview, Deathklok is fucking awesome! Metal Rules! and yea I think your right, people do want to laugh and their brain dead by tv so thats exactly why they out sold every one else, however, the guitars are fucking fa nominal and the voice is amazing so that being said, Deathklok is still one of the best metal bands out there just for being metal and not because of popularity or humorous lyrics, though their lyrics are hilarious, especially to fellow metal heads because the anger put into singing about bullshit is exactly how most metal heads feel about bullshit, so its quite a delicious irony.
