I got to meet Ben Edlund, creator of The Tick and writer for Supernatural (among other awesome credits he looks like a psychedelic Jesus btw). This turned out to be a great decision, because a number of the creative teams from various Adult Swim shows were hanging out back there. I decided to hit up the free libations at the bars further back in the hangar. Having a death metal show in what’s basically a big metal box with no a/c is a recipe for sweat, especially if you’ve been on your feet at the ‘con all day. It’s about mermaid murder!”Ībout halfway through the set I had to get out of the crowd.
My favorite was probably band mascot Facebones telling the guys in the crowd how to not be douchebags to the ladies. In between songs the band would disappear while animated segments played on the screen behind the stage. For live purposes, Dethklok is Metalocalypse series creator (and voice of Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, and Pickles) Brendon Small on vocals and guitar, backed by professional metal players. I’ve lived in San Diego my whole life but had never been on the Midway before, so I was excited just to see inside, no to mention see the world’s best cartoon metal band–heck, one of the world’s best metal bands, period–play. The show itself took place in the hangar deck, which is filled with old planes on display since the carrier, decommissioned in 1992, is now a floating museum. Then, to the foreboding sound of orchestral music piped over the deck, Dethklok arrived via helicopter. After making our way past the Klokateers guarding the entrance, we were led up to the flight deck where docent Bob explained how the aircraft are launched, something I was actually interested in since my great-grandfather was captain of a pretty famous carrier during WWII. On Friday night of Comic-Con Xtine and I got to attend the Adult Swim-hosted Dethklok concert on the USS Midway aircraft carrier. Dethklok in the hangar of an aircraft carrier.
