  • From Wikipedia:

    The term "Metalocalypse" means "Apocalypse of Metal," and refers to a mystical Sumerian prophecy which Cardinal Revenwood stated was predicted by the "ancient scriptures" to come upon the world if the members of Dethklok were not killed. Apparently the band is predicted to usher in this prophecy via their metal music; however the band is utterly clueless to the Metalocalypse.

    ...

    In accordance with this "Metalocalypse" prophecy, the band members indirectly cause death, mayhem and bad luck to those near them, severe weather phenomena, and paranormal anomalies through the live performance of their music. As a result of this, the band's concerts are notoriously violent, often resulting in the physical injury and death of most or all of the crowd.
