Brendon Small | Building Dethklok, Metalocalypse Origins & Guitar Mastery

On this episode of The Kevin Powell Podcast, I’m joined by Brendon Small of Metalocalypse and Dethklok. We dive into the origins of Metalocalypse, how Dethklok evolved from a fictional band into a real touring act, the process of pitching the show to Adult Swim, guitar practice tips, songwriting, touring stories, and what may still be ahead for Dethklok. Brendon also talks about his early guitar influences, Berklee College of Music, learning from players like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and the surreal experience of building one of the biggest fictional bands in metal history. If you’re into metal, guitar playing, comedy, animation, or the behind-the-scenes side of creativity, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
