Ep 11. Skwisklok

In this episode of Metalocalypse, titled Skwisklok, the band is finally given their chance to shine. The episode opens with the members of Skwisklok, a side project band featuring some of the members of Dethklok, practicing in their rehearsal space. The band is made up of lead guitarist Skwisgaar Skwigelf, rhythm guitarist Toki Wartooth, and bassist Murderface. They are excited to finally get a chance to perform their music for a live audience.

However, things don't exactly go as planned. The first problem they encounter is when they try to book a gig. They are turned down by every venue they approach, with owners and managers telling them that their music is too weird and inaccessible for the average listener. The band is disappointed, but they refuse to give up. They finally manage to secure a slot at a local club, but the gig is all the way out in the middle of nowhere and they have to play for a group of hillbillies.

Undaunted, Skwisklok continues to practice and prepare for their big show. They have a few bumps along the way, including some creative differences and personality clashes, but overall they remain focused on their goal. Finally, the night of the gig arrives and the band heads out to the middle of nowhere to set up and perform.

Their efforts pay off, as the hillbillies turn out to be more receptive to the band's music than they expected. They are howling, drinking, and dancing along to every song, much to the delight of Skwisklok. The band members are thrilled to be finally getting some recognition for their talents, and they put on an epic show.

Overall, Skwisklok is a fun episode that shows a different side of the members of Dethklok. It's interesting to see them in a different context and a different style of music, and the episode does a good job of balancing humor with heart. The band's struggles to book a gig and find an audience are relatable to anyone who has ever pursued a creative endeavor, and the resolution is satisfying without being too predictable. Overall, this is a solid episode that Metalocalypse fans won't want to miss.
