Galaktikon II: Become The Storm

Brendon Small – the mastermind behind massive metal band Dethklok and albums ‘The Dethalbum’ (the highest-charting death metal album ever on the Billboard Top 200 chart), ‘Dethalbum II’, ‘Dethalbum III’ and ‘Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem’ – has been teasing a new chapter of his popular Galaktikon saga for months. After spending the past two years writing and recording new material Brendon is ready to reveal his upcoming high-stakes intergalactic extreme rock/metal album, ‘Galaktikon II: Become The Storm’, to the masses.

‘Galaktikon II’ follows the space-age theme of 2012’s original ‘Galaktikon’ album, with a conceptual storyline and a heavier, darker, more brutal sound. The album features acclaimed musicians Bryan Beller (bass – The Aristocrats, Dweezil Zappa, Steve Vai) and Gene Hoglan (drums – Testament, Death, Dark Angel) and was co-produced by Small and Grammynominated producer/engineer Ulrich Wild. The pair reached above and beyond what fans have come to expect to create Small’s most commanding release yet.

Albatross Funnybooks has also announced GALAKTIKON!, a six-issue series of comic books launching this August based on the original Galaktikon album. The series will be written by Brendon Small and five-time Eisner Award winner and Albatross founder Eric Powell. Powell will also be contributing cover art with interior art by Steve Mannion of Fearless Dawn and Spook House.
