8. Rehabklok

Complete story — includes the ending

After an accident at a show in Mozambique that seemed to be caused by Pickles' drinking costs millions of dollars in damage, Pickles is into rehab. While in rehab, the band replaces Pickles at practice with a high tech, sentient drum machine named X2P1158 which is inexplicably armed with a 10,000 megaton self-detonation device. At the rehab center, Malevolent Creation, Pickles tries to escape, but is stopped, eventually admitting that his alcoholism began when his brother, Seth, blamed him for burning down the family garage as a child. In order to complete his rehabilitation and return to the band, Pickles eventually forgives his brother, although not before Seth extorts 5 million dollars from him. In the meantime, X2P1158 becomes self-aware through alcohol, drugs and sex with groupies, an event its creators warned against. When the band informs X2P1158, who they have come to dislike, that Pickles will be returning and taking its place, the drum machine goes haywire and kidnaps the band, intending to kill through self-detonation. Pickles, locked by X2P1158 in the band's green room, is unable to decide between saving his bandmates and consuming the green room's liquor. Pickles ultimately decides to do both, destroying X2P1158 in the process. In a scene after the credits, Dethklok relaxes in a sauna with Pickles, who has happily resumed his alcoholism. Guest voice: Kirk Hammett of Metallica Songs included: "Skyhunter" and "Killstardo Abominate"
