In Metalocalypse season 1 episode 15, titled "Religionklok," the members of the metal band Dethklok find themselves caught up in a religious movement that worships them as gods. The charismatic leader of the movement, known as the "Revengencers," seeks to use Dethklok's music to further his own agenda, which involves the destruction of all other religions and the establishment of an apocalypse-based worldview.
Despite their initial skepticism, the members of Dethklok soon find themselves drawn into the Revengencers' orbit, with lead vocalist Nathan Explosion in particular struggling with whether or not he truly believes himself to be a god. Meanwhile, the band's manager, Charles Ofdensen, works behind the scenes to uncover the true motives of the Revengencers and protect the band from their influence.
As tensions between the Revengencers and the wider world escalate, Metalocalypse explores themes of power, celebrity, and the dangers of blind faith. With its trademark blend of brutal humor and heavy metal music, "Religionklok" is a standout episode that showcases the show's ability to hold a satirical mirror up to contemporary society.
