Leading man Brendon Small announced potential breakup in 2016, stating “No, we don’t want to do anymore Metalocalypse at all,’ and that was the end of it.”Small then sat down with mxdwn to say that while Metalocalypse came to an end, Dethklok would still continue making music. He stated “…maybe the show gets canceled, I can keep the audio alive. So, I would love to keep on making Dethklok records forever.” He recently collaborated with Scott Ian of Anthrax on music for a pinball machine game called Black Knight: Sword of Rage.
