In Metalocalypse season 1 episode 14 titled "Bluesklok," viewers are taken on a wild ride through the world of blues-rock as the band Klokateers becomes enamored with the soulful sounds of the genre. As the episode opens, we see the band members gathered around a television watching a vintage clip of blues legend Blind Joe Death playing a concert. They are moved by the raw emotion in his playing and become inspired to incorporate blues into their own music.

The episode takes a comedic turn as the band members, who are known for their heavy metal sound, struggle to understand the nuances of blues. They enlist the help of blues expert Magnus Hammersmith, who teaches them the importance of "feel" in playing blues. The band members try to emulate the blues greats, but their attempts fall flat as they continue to play their heavy metal style with awkward blues rhythms.

Despite their struggles, Klokateers decides to put on a blues show for their fans. The result is a hilarious and entertaining performance that showcases the band's willingness to experiment with different genres and their ability to make fun of themselves.

One of the highlights of the episode is the relationship between band member Skwisgaar Skwigelf and a female blues singer named Kezia. As Skwisgaar tries to impress her with his blues chops, he finds himself falling for her and ultimately writing a blues song about her. This subplot adds a romantic element to the episode that offers a nice change of pace from the band's usual antics.

The episode also touches on the theme of cultural appropriation in music as Klokateers is criticized by some for their attempt to play blues. This criticism forces the band members to think more deeply about the importance of respecting the roots of different musical genres.

Overall, "Bluesklok" is a entertaining and lighthearted episode that offers a fun perspective on the world of blues and shows Klokateers' willingness to push the boundaries of their own sound.
