The film is written and directed by series co-creator Brendon Small and is a direct sequel to the 2013 special, Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem. The film was released on August 22, 2023, alongside Dethklok's fourth studio album, Dethalbum IV.[1][2] The film was dedicated to longtime series director, Jon Schnepp, who died in 2018 before production began.
The film is the third of Adult Swim's line of straight-to-video movies after Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm and The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, and was released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
The film picks up after the events of the Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem special, with Dethklok tasked to write the "song of salvation" in order to save the planet from impending doom,[3] and serves as the finale to the Metalocalypse series.
