Adult Swim diehards were already excited for the return of fan favorite Metalocalypse. Due to high demand, the band has added more dates to its upcoming tour!
The “Amonklok Tour,” with Amon Amarth, will kick off in Phoenix, Arizona, on April 15th.
The new dates added will have Metalocalypse hitting Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and San Diego. In a recent interview, founder Brendon Small talked about how the new tour is perfectly timed to the show’s 20th anniversary.
“It’s kind of crazy,” Small told The Logan Show. “This is an accidental kind of thing that happened, is that I ended up inadvertently… I didn’t even know what kind of responsibility I was taking on when I took on proprietorship of the live music entity. Really didn’t know that you have to put up risk, you have to organize all this stuff with the other bands, you have to talk to other people.”
“I inadvertently built a really great infrastructure with great tour managers, production managers, agents and all that stuff, and I realized this is a really cool art form that you get to kind of control yourself without a network, without anybody else. I still have to actually license my own stuff, which is bonkers, which is crazy, but it’s totally worth it because I keep it alive. And by me keeping it alive, it keeps interest in the streamers and has people checking it out. So in one way or another, the audience and myself are fueling this project’s existence. And through that, I get to produce new animation,” he adds.
