BRENDON
SMALL is the
co-creator/ writer/ actor/ director/ producer/ of ADULT SWIM'S METALOCALYPSE television
series. Brendon Small is also responsible for writing and performing all of the
show's music and DETHKLOK: THE DETHALBUM and DETHALBUM II, the latter now known
as the fastest-selling death metal album to date.
Now,
Brendon has written and produced BRENDON SMALL's GALAKTIKON:
"A High Stakes Intergalactic Extreme Rock album", his long-awaited
side project set to release in April 2012. The album release will coincide with
the Season 4 premiere of METALOCALYPSE.
Coming off
of the second DETHKLOK album which was heavier and darker than the first, BRENDON
SMALL’s GALAKTIKON searches for melody (in the vocal) and finds
inspirations in modern black metal, Queen, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Smashing
Pumpkins and Weezer. No influence is unwelcome on this project. Brendon Small
paired with DETHKLOK drummer (legendary metal drummer) Gene Hoglan (Dethklok,
Strapping Young Lad, Testament, Fear Factory) and DETHKLOK bassist Bryan Beller
(Dethklok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally band) and DETHKLOK engineer and mixer
Ulrich Wild.
“This album
should be thought of as an audio comic book, an over acted chamber drama, a
ridiculous premise that takes itself way too seriously all the way to the end,”
states Brendon Small.
BRENDON
SMALL’s GALAKTIKON
comes as a follow up to Brendon’s work on the chart-topping DETHKLOK albums
based on METALOCALYPSE and released by Williams Street
Records. DETHKLOK: THE DETHALBUM debuted at #21 on the Billboard Top 200 with
over 30,000 copies sold in the first week and held the “fastest-selling death
metal album to date” position originally until the follow-up, DETHALBUM II,
surpassed it to break the aforementioned record with a #15 debut on the
Billboard Top 200. DETHKLOK has performed on several US tours and headlined the
Los Angeles kick-off date of the 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.
