In Metalocalypse season 2 episode 3, titled "Dethvengeance," the band members of Dethklok received a threatening message from a former employee named Magnus Hammersmith. In the message, Magnus declared his intention to exact revenge on the band for past wrongs. In response, the band members decided to take matters into their own hands and confront Magnus.
As they travelled to his home, the band members reminisced about their past offenses towards Magnus, which included firing him and ridiculing his ideas. Meanwhile, the band's manager, Charles Ofdensen, warned them about the potential dangers of seeking revenge. However, the band members were determined to confront Magnus and face the consequences.
Upon arriving at Magnus's home, they discovered that he had formed his own band, which mocked Dethklok and gained a massive following by exploiting their past mistakes. The band members challenged Magnus to a musical duel, which he accepted. The winner would be determined by the audience's reaction to their performance.
During the duel, both bands played their respective songs, with Dethklok performing their trademark heavy metal while Magnus's band played upbeat pop music. Despite the clear difference in musical style, the audience seemed to respond positively to both performances. Just as Dethklok was about to finish their song, however, Magnus's band began to play an unsavory tune that stirred up violence among the crowd.
The situation quickly escalated as members of the audience began to attack Dethklok. In the chaos, Charles Ofdensen stepped in and saved the band members from harm. Although Magnus ultimately fled the scene, the band members were left shaken by the violence they had witnessed.
In the aftermath, the band members reflected on the consequences of revenge and vowed to never let it consume them again. Charles Ofdensen assured them that he would take care of Magnus and that Dethklok would continue to make music without fear of retaliation.
Overall, "Dethvengeance" is a tense episode that explores the consequences of seeking revenge and the lengths people will go to in order to prove themselves to others. It also highlights the destructive power of music and its ability to incite violence and chaos. Despite its heavy themes, the episode still manages to provide plenty of laughs and showcases the band's unique sense of humor and over-the-top antics.
