The Tribunal alternates between actively trying to kill dethklok and trying to protect them (to ‘protect the economy’) seeming based on whichever would be most convenient for the episode.

Brendon’s favorite character voices to perform are Edgar Jomfru and Dick Knubbler. His favorite songs to play in concert are Hatredcopter and Black Fire Upon Us, and considers Andromeda one of his best studio recordings. He also says Dethhealth is particularly difficult to play live.
Nathan claims to be “White/Native American” in his dating profile. At least 3 people have called Nathan “Tonto”, and he had one of them killed. Brendon has implied Murderface may also have some Native American in him, citing the facial features of his grandfather Thunderbolt Murderface.

Nathan and Toki are the only band members who have not had nude scenes.
According to Skwisgaar in an interview, Nathan actually drinks more than Murderface
A promotional video was produced for Darksiders II in which Death meets Dethklok. This video does not seem to exist anywhere online, unlike the Brutal Legend promo which is on Youtube. Additionally, one of the clips of Dethklok used in Titmouse’s 2013 “AWESOME” reel does not seem to have a source and may have been created for the animation reel.
The music video for Soundgarden’s ‘Black Rain’ features Dethklok and Charles in the first half of the video. The entire video is animated in the traditional Metalocalypse style and was directed by Brendon.
