Watch Dr. Rockzo’s Psychedelic Sermon From New ‘Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar’ Movie
It's a big year for Brendon Small, with the movie Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar coming out, as well as a new Dethklok album supported by a co-headlining tour with Babymetal. Today, Loudwire is debuting an exclusive preview clip from Army of the Doomstar for you to watch, where the infamous rock 'n' roll clown Dr. Rockzo delivers a psychedelic sermon about the afterlife, which is one big party in the sky.
Plus, in celebration of it all, Loudwire is giving away a "GhostHorse" Epiphone Explorer guitar signed by Small, as well as copies of the new film on Blu-Ray and tickets to the upcoming tour. Head below to learn more about the contest after you check out the exclusive clip.
The last release under the Metalocalypse banner came a decade ago with the rock opera movie Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem, which arrived a year after Season 4 of the TV series.
A press release synopsis of the film describes what fans can expect:
The all-new animated movie begins after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth; Dethklok frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a BRUTAL professional and romantic flat-spin, all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge to save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?
In the exclusive clip below, Dr. Rockzo partakes in his drug of choice at the gates of Heaven — some c-c-c-c-cocaine — and begins to describe how incredible the afterlife is while imploring the living to make the most of their lives and love each other.
The teaser ends with things fading back to reality as we see the face of Dethklok frontman Nathan Explosion.
