* SpaceWhale: It's heavily implied (and seemingly confirmed in the Nightmare music video) that The Beast Queen is one of these. And one of many elements that should be familiar to fans of Small's previous work.

A second album, ''Galaktikon II: Become The Storm'', was released in September 2017, and both the content of the song lyrics and [[WordOfGod statements from Small]] strongly imply that the album is not just a follow-up to the previous one, but also the WritingAroundTrademarks GrandFinale to ''Metalocalypse'', which was never televised due to a bad case of ScrewedByTheNetwork.

ScrewedByTheNetwork, though this is no longer the case with an announcement of a true finale movie.

* TheScottishTrope: Metawise, all the characters are mostly referred to their known monikers in the lyrics, or can only be guessed by the tone of voice. This is done to prevent the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork album from getting sued by [[adult swim]].

* AstralFinale: In order to stop the Demon, the crew has to launch themselves to outer space in ''Icarus Six Sixty Six'' and set up a final show.



* BittersweetEnding: The Demon is defeated, but the huge destruction caused by the way and the loss of the band devastates the whole world. That said it ends in a hopeful tone (''Rebuilding The Planet'') as everyone starts rebuilding everything from scratch.

* LastStand: Everyone rouses up against the demons in ''To Kill A God'' and ''Could This Be The End'' as the Demon prepares for the final showdown with the crew.

* FullyAbsorbedFinale: The second album, ''Become The Storm'', effectively ends ''{{WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse}}''.



* SequelInAnotherMedium: ''Become the Storm'' to Small's CutShort animated series ''Metalocalypse''.

to:

* SequelInAnotherMedium: ''Become ThemeTuneCameo: Dangertits has one part that is similar to the Storm'' to Small's CutShort animated series ''Metalocalypse''.solo in ''I Tamper with the Evidence at the Murder Site of Odin''



* WhamLine: While due to its nature as a WritingAroundTrademarks work the context of most of the story is kept vague, one particular line in ''Become the Storm'' (specifically in the song "The Agenda") has been latched onto as a likely metatextual wham by fans of ''Metalocalypse'':
-> '''Nathan Explosion:''' "[[AuthorsSavingThrow There's nothing that needs mending]]. Just follow my words, [[SequelInAnotherMedium they will lead you to the ending]]."


Added DiffLines:


!!Become The Tropes: [[note]]The soundtrack had been released with 2 list orders, one follows the story of Triton and the other for Dethklok. Thus, the tropes will follow the story of Dethklok tongue-in-cheek unless stated otherwise. As such, spoilers abound for the Metalocalypse series[[/note]]
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: After defeating the Demon, the five men did survive in a way, but it's implied that they shed their mortal bodies to become Gods.
* BackFromTheDead: In order to purge the corruption, the remaining members have to throw their infected comrade to the water, drowning out the demon inside. He comes back to life thanks to the 'klok' inside restarting his heart.
* BittersweetEnding: The Demon is defeated, but the huge destruction caused by the way and the loss of the band devastates the whole world. That said it ends in a hopeful tone (''Rebuilding The Planet'') as everyone starts rebuilding everything from scratch.
* TheCorruption: ''Nightmare'' has someone having nightmares as the virus amplifies his negative thoughts. ''The Agenda'' has the demon come in contact with him and points out that his friends don't care about him in order to bring him to his side.
--> ''Take your place with mine, Immortality is nigh''
* DemonicPossession: ''My Name is Murder'' has the protagonist (this one Murderface in all but name) infected with the virus and burns down the base before escaping into the snowstorm.
* FullyAbsorbedFinale: The second album, ''Become The Storm'', effectively ends ''{{WesternAnimation/Metalocalypse}}''.
* HeroicSacrifice: ''''Could This Be The End'' ends with the 5 men having to sacrifice their lives to unleash their full power in order to defeat the demon.
--> ''"We must die but we lived our lives"''
* SpiritualSuccessor: [[SequelInAnotherMedium ''Become the Storm'']] is pretty much Dethklok with SerialNumbersFiledOff to Small's CutShort animated series ''Metalocalypse''. since Adult Swim holds the rights to the Dethklok name. As Brendon says:
--> '''Brendon Small:'''"It’s a Dethklok album, it just can’t be called Dethklok 'cause of rights. I will say this if you love Dethklok, you will love this record. The lyrics, the music and everything is Dethklok styled"

These names actually have meaning in the comic book adaptation. The Truth Orb and Kill Pool are tools of the Lazer Witch, and help Triton gain perspective on his divorce and Beastblade's plans. "Dangertits" is the warp drive function on Triton's ship.
