When it was announced that DETHKLOK would be playing a handful of dates to promote the DETHALBUM many fans were unsure just how they would pull it off. Well, a recent press release puts your worries to rest:
Dethklok's Gorillaz-style show will feature a set-long animated projection of the virtual band performing while the actual live band (including legendary metal drummer Gene Hoglan of Death, Dark Angel, and Strapping Young Lad as well as Metalocalypse creator Brendon Small) playing behind.
I don't care what you say, that sounds awesome! The album is great and this is a great idea. Oh, and you know what else was great? Our interview with DETHKLOK. Full tour dates after the jump…
