Brendon Small is an actor, director, writer, producer, stand-up comedian, and a musician. Among many other things, he is the creator of the Adult Swim television series Metalocalypse, and the band Dethklok. Brendon is a guitar player and the singer for Dethklok. He has once again made his animated band come to life on stage, along with guitarist Nili Brosh, bassist Bryan Beller, and drummer Gene Hoglan.
For this interview, Brendon calls in to the Dr. Music podcast from the road while on the Mutilation On A Spring Night Tour with DragonForce and Nekrogoblikon. He discusses what rehearsals are like for the tour, what it’s like to play in the dark, making a new film for the Metalocalypse universe, and if we might see another Galakticon album.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
