Some times really violent but not that often. People give it too much credit. Not all that funny.

What Parents Need to Know
About Metalocalpyse
Parents need to know that the violence depicted in this late-night cartoon (it's part of the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up) is explicit. Characters are shown bleeding from their eyes, having their skin burned off by scalding-hot coffee, and getting mangled in the blades of a helicopter, among other catastrophes. The show also manages to reinforce just about every negative stereotype imaginable about long-haired, leather-clad heavy metal bands. These guys play and party hard, spend their spare time with busty women, and drink alcohol like it's water, prompting one of them to declare, "I'd rather chop off my ding-dong than not drink." Indeed.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fact that heavy metal music isn't always this X-rated. After all, plenty of bands rock hard without resorting to gory shock-tactics and blood worship. That said, the show does offer a way for parents to talk to their kids about the grim realities of alcohol and drug abuse -- and the objectification of women -- that runs rampant in the music industry. Why does having an outrageous lifestyle usually make bands seem cooler to their fans? And can heavy metal still be "heavy" without all the vices?

The Metalocalypse has begun
This is an incredibly violent and gory show. Peoples faces literally are ripped of, intestines spill out of a man's mouth, eyes explode, etc. That is the big concern. Dethklok arent very good role models. Language is all over the place and the worst words are bleeped with guitar sounds. If you are into the metal genre of music you will love this show.
