Think Spinal Tap, but with an extreme metal band.
Descriptions in parentheses are the description of each from the theme song. The title sequence doesn't show up until episode 3.
William Murderface (murderface, Murderface, MURDERFACE) - Bass
Skwisgaar Skwigelf (Taller than a tree) - Guitar.
Nathan Explosion - Vocalist.
Pickles (Doodilee doo ding-dong doodilee doodilee doo) - Drummer.
Toki Wartooth (Not a bumblebee) - Guitar.
Characters based on real musicians, although the claims that the guitarists are based on anyone in particular is highly debatable, and it's more believable that they're just generic Nordic black metal/power metal guitarists.

It's not just your average cartoon, it's loaded with obscure and not-so-obscure references to famous metal bands. Examples include burger joints "Burzum's" and "Dimmu Burger" on the obvious side, and the line from a discussion of the fact that all of their chefs were cursed "Ya, he blew his brains out .... made a great album cover."
Even non metalheads can love the show and it's satire of the exterme metal scene. Death and destruction are around every corner, and at concerts their fans have to sign pain waivers agreeing not to hold the band responsible for anything that happens including death and dismemberment. In the first episode fans that are interviewed describe injuries: one had an eye stolen, another holds up a hand with his middle and ring fingers amputated at the first knuckle and says that "a guy cut my fingers off and threw them up on stage, and Murderface rolled them up and smoked them!"
