    Dethklok seems pretty safe.

    There isn’t all that much out there about Brendon Small though and what I could find he should be a decent enough person…plus I liked Metalocalypse quite a bit, so that helps me 😁

    Dunno much about Bryan Beller, Nili Brosh or Gene Hoglan, just saw a few random videos with them so hard to gauge.

      Gojira are environmental and humanist activists to a certain degree. At least in their music that is.

      Plus they fucking rock, holy shit.

      Just listen to cattle decap. The morally superior band. Kidding. They’re pretty great tho, more people should listen to cattle decapitation. Especially the later albums which are more approachable

        That’s an interesting take. I love Cattle Decapitation’s old stuff but their newer stuff never really grabbed me.

        Either way, to each their own. Cattle Decapitation is amazing either way!

        Edit: I didn’t see that you specified “more approachable”. You’re 100% correct in that. It’s 5am here, sorry.

      Brendon Small made Home Movies. He has to be a decent person. I will be very upset if he isn’t. I may have to go poke him in the eye if he isn’t.

      Years ago, Brendan Small did a couple of characters on Comedy Bang Bang who, while being absolutely fucking hilarious and source of some of the top moments on the podcast, were kinda problematic, coming off as ethnic caricature. He quit doing those characters in 2017, for I think pretty obvious reasons, though I’m not sure whether anyone ever called him out on it. I assume it was similar to PFT’s rationale for dropping Ice-T from his own repertoire. In any event, you can take this however you will.
