After six long years, Tenacious D have announced that they'll be back with a new album Post-Apocalypto in on November 2, with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl behind the kit!
The album, which has 21 songs (full tracklisting below), will also be tied into a new Post Apocalypto animation series which will begin on September 28 and have a new episode every Friday until the album is released. You can check out the trailer for the first episode below:
The characters in the series are voiced by Jack Black and Kyle Gass, while it's rumoured that Jack Black himself animated and hand-drew every frame.
So what's the album even about? A media release reads:
“Post-Apocalypto finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of complete and utter destruction following the drop of an atomic bomb,”
“Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old imperishable 1950’s refrigerator), the duo quickly learns that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast. One thing becomes apparent — for humanity to prevail, Tenacious D must save the world.”
Tenacious D's last album Rize Of The Fenix was released back in 2012.
