Both bands were created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha. The music heard on Metalocalypse is performed by Brendon Small, with others as needed.

In the Metalocalypse series, Dethklok is depicted as an extremely popular and successful death metal band. The band's fan base includes billions of metal fanatics, who frequently endanger themselves to watch the band perform live. With their widespread commercial success and lucrative sponsorship contracts, Dethklok is ranked as the world's seventh largest economy by the end of the second season.

The members of Dethklok are often portrayed as incompetent at almost everything not related to their profession. The band struggles to perform everyday tasks, including shopping for groceries, preparing food, and maintaining proper social relationships. They are often assisted by their manager and lawyer, Charles Foster Ofdensen, who frequently attempts to prevent the band from making poor decisions. The band's actions and uncanny misfortune have caught the attention of an Illuminati-style council, known as The Tribunal. The Tribunal is portrayed as Dethklok's antagonist throughout the series, and secretly monitors their actions in almost every episode. They describe Dethklok as the "world's greatest cultural force." The leader of The Tribunal (Mr. Selatcia), however, frequently instructs the other members to allow Dethklok to do as they will.

Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle
Dethklok Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you folks like coffee?
Real coffee
From the Hills
Of Colombia

The Duncan Hills will wake you
From a thousand deaths
A cup of blackened blood

(Dying, dying)
You're dying for a cup

Guatemala blend
Ethiopian
French vanilla roast
(Dying, dying)
You're dying for a cup

Prepare for ultimate flavor
You're gonna get some... milk!
And scream... for your cream

Duncan Hills
Duncan Hills
Duncan Hills

COFFEE!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dethklok's "Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle" depict their love for coffee and how it has the power to wake anyone up. The first few lines ask if the audience likes real coffee from the hills of Colombia before proceeding to describe the power of Duncan Hills coffee, which can wake up anyone from a thousand deaths. The next lines describe the various blends of coffee, such as the Guatemala blend, Ethiopian, and French vanilla roast, all of which are so good that people are willing to die for them. The chorus chants the name of the coffee while the song ends with a final scream of "COFFEE!".

Overall, the song celebrates the love of coffee and how it can give people the energy to face their day. The lyrics are full of humor, exaggeration, and absurdity, all of which add to the song's tongue-in-cheek nature. This song is a fun way to express the universal love of coffee in a metal context, and it's a perfect example of Dethklok's dark and humorous style.
