DC has done numerous Dark Knights: Death Metal collaborations with notable music artists from across genres. In 2018 they teamed up with the likes of Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Chino Moreno of Deftones and Maria Brink of In This Moment for a vinyl picture disk. Their series had a film last year which featured music from Dave Lombardo, Chelsea Wolfe, Zakk Wylde and Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides. Members of HEALTH, Mastodon and Chelsea Wolfe were featured on an episode of the Dark Knights: Death Metal series called “Shot In The Dark.”
