The wait for new music from Brendon Small is officially over! The genius behind Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse will be releasing the highly anticipated follow-up to Galaktikon on August 25th via Megaforce Records/MRI, and the first single has made its way online.

Here’s what Brendon had to say about ‘My Name is Murder’ : “I wrote all the riffs for “My Name Is Murder” in one sitting, and it quickly became a favorite while we were making the record. Story-wise, this song is about a bad dude doing very bad things, and writing from the POV of a bad guy is very, very fun for me.”

Blast ‘My Name Is Murder’ over and over and over below, and if you love it as much as we do, pre-order your copy of Galaktikon II: Become The Storm today!

Galaktikon II: Become The Storm follows the space-age theme of 2012’s original Galaktikon album, with a conceptual storyline and a heavier, darker, more brutal sound. In addition to Brendon Small and Grammy-nominated producer/engineer Ulrich Wild (who also worked on the Dethklok albums), Galaktikon II: Become The Storm features the distinct rhythmic powers of drum legend Gene Hoglan (Testament, Death, Dark Angel) and bassist extraordinaire Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai). With uncapped time and creativity on their side, the aforementioned artists have created a heavy metal opus that Dethklok fanatics will covet and newcomers to the world of Brendon Small will add to the top of their playlists.
