‘Hail To The King’ Animated Series To Debut On December 15th!

Briefly: Jon Schnepp is a busy guy. He’s currently working on the feature-length documentary The Death of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened?, running a Kickstarter for Unicrom: The Unicorn Barbarian, and the six-episode Hail to the King just got a release date on Machinima.

Here’s the synopsis from Machinima:

From the creative minds of Avenged Sevenfold, one of rock music’s global heavyweights and a trailblazing force in fusing the worlds of music and video games, Hail To The King is a six-episode animated series, which is directed by Metalocalypse producer Jon Schnepp. The unique and innovative series tells the fictional story of the Deathbat – the band’s longtime trademark, and serves as the prologue to their highly anticipated mobile video game, “Hail to the King: Deathbat.” Accompanying the launch of the series will be a trailer for the game, which will be available early 2014.

Now, it’s been a number of years since I’ve listened to Avenged Sevenfold, but with an animation giant like Jon Schnepp attached to the project, I’ll be watching Hail to the King as soon as possible.

The entire season will launch on Machinima’s Happy Hour channel on December 15th. Take a look at the newest trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be checking it out!
