It’s Demilitia: Season Three

Follow everyone’s favorite underground New York death metal band as they laugh, cry, learn, love, and make music that sounds like your left hand being smashed into a bony vein-paste by a rusty set of pliers.

Episode 1: Dementors of the Faith (#4D31) Burley falls for an unspeakably fine supermodel he meets at a party, only to discover she hates death metal. This forces him to lead a double life as both Burley, guitarist of Demilitia, and Owen B., Polo shirt-wearing investment banker and charity organizer.

(First appearance of Mincemeat The Clown).

Episode 3: Samhain A Log (#4D33) Halloween Special. The band is gearing up for the big Halloween show, but Ralph is always late to practice. When the band looks into his tardiness, they discover that Ralph has been raising a ten-foot-long spider by feeding it the corpses of Death Row inmates. Everything goes smoothly until the show, when Mr. Mandible gets loose and the band have to stop him from devouring the audience. Meanwhile, Billy and Burley both want to be Sexy Moe The Bartender for Halloween.

Episode 4: Our Dirty, Filthy, Repulsive Little Secret (#4D34) The band wakes up after a long night of partying to find a sexually-violated blow-up Courtney Love doll hung by the neck in the living room, a note attached to its chest reading ‘NO MORE.’ Accusations fly, until a false eyelash in found in a glass of farted-in beer leads Demilitia to a tale of international espionage and bone-shaking erotic suspense that they wish they’d left well enough alone.

Stay brutal, America!

Cue theme song.

Episode 5: The Long Road To Lit Lounge (#4D35) Burley and Billy take a day trip to Coney Island and get mugged for their wallets, phones, and Metrocards.

Episode 6: Body of Heaviness (#4D36) A huge article gets written about the band in a major metal magazine, but the majority of it focuses on JennCity being a sexy lady bassist. Feeling left out, the rest of the band take on plastic surgery, unorthodox piercing, and acts of vandalism in an attempt to make Demilitia a sexier band and obtain the upper-crust lifestyle of the mainstream death metal musician. Meanwhile, Ralph gets gum stuck in his hair and Jason has to get it out.

Episode 7: Number One Fan (And His Jars of Number Two) (#4D37) The band has to cancel practice when blood begins dripping through their ceiling. When they break into the apartment upstairs, they find their neighbor Mr. Cosmodopolous dead in his armchair.

The band must come to terms with their biggest fan being their creepiest while looking over documentation of the past three years. (First appearance of Mr. Cosmodopolous).

Episode 8: Screaming For Vengeance (#4D38) When asked what band he’d like to tour with on national television, Rob Halford of Judas Priest lists Demilitia as one of the great underground metal bands of our time. The band begins making plans for their upcoming tour with Priest and spending their savings, only to discover that Halford only said the name because he blanked on any modern bands and saw a Demilitia shirt in the crowd. Now, the band must either grovel at Judas Priest’s feet for a spot on the tour or play a competing local show to blow the metal gods out of town. Rob Halford and KK Downing star as themselves.

Episode 9: Census Fail (#4D39) Jason finds a cyst with a half-gallon of pus in it growing on the back of his calf, and Billy and Burley decide to try and treat it with various medical and homeopathic remedies, including several pulled from a dusty book entitled Be Your Own Doctor.
