Legendary powerhouse metal drummer Gene Hoglan returns to join Brendon and
DETHKLOK. Other musicians include bassist Bryan Beller (DETHKLOK/THE
ARISTOCRATS/ JOE SATRIANI), and Mike Keneally (DETHKLOK, FRANK
ZAPPA, JOE SATRIANI).
Creator Brendon Small states, “This is not like anything we've ever done. This is a full
blown musical- metal combined with symphonic passages, classic musical theatre, high
stakes drama, emotional moments, and yes totally ridiculous comedy. I drew from all of my
influences to make this the most unique project I could dream of. This is easily the best
thing we've ever done with the show and the music. I can't wait for you to hear it.”
Composer Bear McCreary states, “I have been a fan of Metalocalypse for many years, and
I am fortunate to call Brendon Small my friend. METALOCALYPSE: the DOOMSTAR
REQUIEM A KLOK OPERA provided us the opportunity to collaborate that we'd always
been looking for. I had a blast helping Brendon realize his vision for a fully-produced
orchestral score to accompany his drop-tuned guitars and pounding double kicks. This
opera takes his catchy songwriting to a whole new level, and I was thrilled to help out.”
