My Least Favorite

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

In this episode, Pickles is reunited with his old band, Snakes N' Barrels, which is probably a parody of one my favorite bands, Guns N' Roses. This episode got a TV-MA rating, it should have gotten a V added to it, this was a little over violent at the end.

The episode was mostly Pickles talking to the old band and how he is in Dethklok. This episode was pretty brutal but not as brutal as the other ones. But Episode 8 (Performance Klok) was the slump of the series. But the episode was still highly enjoyable.

An 8.5, what can I say? It's metal, it's Metalocalypse. It's worth a spin.
