‘Metalocalypse’
Over the course of four seasons (that aired over almost a decade!), Adult Swim’s surreal metal series Metalocalypse followed the adventures of Deathklok, the most popular band in the world. Not only that, they have a higher GDP than most nations, which puts them square in the targets of massive conspiracies and a villainous cabal that constantly seeks to destroy them. The series vacillates between ridiculously low-stakes scenes about the band’s everyday life, and sequences including some of the bloodiest, most over-the-top action scenes every put into animation. Even if you don’t like metal music, Metalocalypse will rock you to your core.
