Dethalbum II is the second full length album by virtual band Dethklok, from the animated series Metalocalypse. The CD and deluxe CD/DVD were released on September 29, 2009. The album was later released on LP to the United States and Canada.
The album was recorded at Bombshelter Studios and "The Danger Zone" in Los Angeles. The deluxe edition includes a bonus DVD with 52 minutes of never-before-released music videos featured in the 2008 Dethklok tour. Two bonus tracks were originally promised for the deluxe edition of the album; however, Brendon Small had never recorded or planned to include bonus tracks. The announcement was a marketing error. A guitar transcription book of this album was released through Alfred Music Publishing. Six tracks from this album are included in the Dethklok bass tab anthology.
"Laser Cannon Deth Sentence" is featured as a downloadable track for Guitar Hero 5. "Bloodlines" is featured as a playable track in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. The song "The Cyborg Slayers" was featured in the soundtrack for the game Saints Row: The Third.
The album peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 45,000 copies in its first week of release.
All tracks written by Brendon Small. Virtual writing credits attributed to Dethklok.
