[adult swim] embarks on hip hop, “metal” tours

Post Author:

Not satisfied with being the only free thing worth watching after 11pm on cable, [adult swim] has been testing the music waters. A compilation to shit on all other indie compilations this winter, an animated band with a full length album that could make shish kabobs out of the Gorillaz, and now [adult swim] has its first nation-wide tour with two of the biggest names in music that doesn't suck.

Ghostface Killah and Witchdoctor embark on a 12-campus tour at the end of October, while Trail of Dead and the aforementioned animated metal act Dethklok join forces for a “metal” tour for a series of yet to be announced dates. Metalacolypse co-founder and song writer Brendon Small will front the non-animated touring version of the biggest and most brutal band in the world.
