*Metalocalypse* is an American animated television series created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, which premiered on August 6, 2006, on Adult Swim. The series follows the death metal band Dethklok, a larger-than-life group whose rise to fame is depicted with dark, macabre themes involving violence, death, and the pitfalls of celebrity, all delivered through hyperbolic black humor. This content has led to the show's consistent TV-MA rating. *Metalocalypse* functions both as a parody and a tribute to heavy metal culture. The show's music, composed by guitarist and co-creator Brendon Small, is credited to the fictional band and appears in most episodes. The animation is closely synchronized to the music, with detailed depictions of guitar chord positions and fingering in some scenes. A notable feature of the series is the use of pinch harmonics in place of the standard "bleeps" to censor extreme profanity.
