Trail of Dead + Dethklok: A match made in blackest Hell

Above: ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

As we have previously reported, the freaks at Adult Swim have unleashed a pair of competing tours upon impressionable college students nationwide: one hip-hop, the other heavy metal. At the time, dates weren't available for the rock tour. But time has a funny habit of revealing things. Adult Swim just released the dates for its tour featuring Texan bombast merchants ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead and the heavy metal cartoon supergroup Dethklok. Perhaps it's premature to say so, but considering the combined power of these two bands, someone might have to commission amps that go up to 12. Madness, I know, but that's Dethklok's stock and trade.

Our only question: is Dethklok going with a Gorillaz-type setup? Or will band mastermind Brendan Small actually take the stage in a long black wig?
