William Murderface is the bass player for the fictional melodic death metal band Dethklok in the adult animated series Metalocalypse. He is a brilliant, dark parody of the ultimate, self-destructive rock star—a character defined by immense self-loathing, physical repulsiveness, and a desperate, aggressive need for validation.

drummer for the multi-billion-dollar death metal band Dethklok, Pickles acts as a fascinating bridge between two distinct eras of heavy music. Distinctive for his red hair styled into a dreadlock-skullet combo and his thick Upper Midwestern accent, he is one of the most layered and dynamic figures in the show. “Woah momma!”

Nathan Explosion is the massive, deep-voiced frontman, lead vocalist, and "lyrical visionary" of Dethklok in Metalocalypse. Visually modeled after legendary Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, Nathan is an imposing, stoic figure with long black hair, pale skin, and a permanent death-growl speaking voice

Toki Wartooth is the rhythm guitarist for Dethklok and the youngest member of the band. He represents a stark, comedic contrast to the band's brutal image, acting as a hyper-childish innocent trapped in a violent rock-and-roll world.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf is the lead guitarist for Dethklok and the fastest guitar player in the world. Hailing from Sweden, he is a towering, blonde, Norse-god-like figure who represents the absolute pinnacle of musical arrogance, hyper-perfectionism, and rock-star vanity.
