Metallica singer/guitarist James Hetfield and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett will guest voice on Brendon Small's new animated series Death Clock Metalocalypse. The 15-minute Flash-animated show will follow the misadventures of fictional Norwegian death-metal band Deathklok as they leave death and destruction in their wake. The show has been described as "Spinal Tap meets Scooby-Doo meets Norway."

Michael Amott, guitarist of Arch Enemy, and guitarists Jeff Loomis, Steve Smythe, and singer Warrel Dane of Nevermore will also voice cameos on the show. It's not known at this time where their voices will be used.

The members of Metallica are no strangers to voice-overs, having previously appeared on The Simpsons and Dave the Barbarian.

Death Clock Metalocalypse will premiere on Adult Swim, The Cartoon Network's adult-oriented time block, on August 6.
