The synopsis of Metalocalypse: Army Of The Doomstar is: “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?”

Dethklok will also hit the road for a North American tour with Babymetal this August. Get the dates below and get your tickets here.

“It’s very surreal having so much new Metalocalypse & Dethklok this year with the trifecta of the tour, movie and album,” said Metalocalypse mastermind Brendon Small. “I’m so excited to get on the road with the powerful Babymetal, and to celebrate all the hard work that team Metalocalypse and Dethklok put in over the last two years and beyond!”
