About
Part-American, part-Scandinavian death-metal band Dethklok has a lingering effect on its fans, who take the words seriously and do anything Dethklok lyrics say. The government fears the band's influence and sets out to destroy it by covert means; for example, by sending military pharmaceutical psychotropic drug manufacturers. Deemed sociopaths for tossing hot coffee at their concert attendees, two of the band members are alcoholics, and they all have self-esteem issues.

Dethklok hires the world's only six-star chef to cook dinner for them before a show in Norway.

Later, when their new chef is at near-death on life support following an unfortunate helicoptor mishap, the band is forced to make its own meals.
Dethwater
Dethklok frontman Nathan Explosion wants the band's next album to be the ultimate smash hit. So, to achieve this goal, he decides to have a recording session locked in a Russian nuclear submarine that is moving through the Mariana Trench - the deepest, darkest location in the Earth's crust itself. How brutal is that?!

The guys learn an important lesson: there's nothing more brutal in this world than raising children.
