Rock Band's Underworld Tour Begins October 30!
30 Sep
Summary
- An animated series about a rock band sent to Hell launches October 30.
- The band must reach Hell's gates before their record label pulls the plug.
- The show is the first animated series from Banger Films.
A new Canadian adult animated series, "Gone to Hell," is set to launch on October 30, following the dramatic underworld journey of a world-famous rock band. The show blends supernatural adventure with rock-and-roll satire.
The series centers on Demon Destroyer, a band whose members find themselves in Hell after a disastrous stage performance in 1994. Critically, they are not dead but in a coma on Earth, activating an obscure underworld rule called the Coma Clause.
This clause allows them a chance to return to Earth if they can reach the Gates of Hell before their record label terminates their life support. The underworld, rather than being terrifying, is depicted as a peculiar realm populated by eccentric characters and overseen by the fame-hungry Dev.
"Gone to Hell" marks a significant milestone as Banger Films' inaugural animated series. The production company, renowned for its music and pop culture content, presents a world constructed from miniature sets, contributing to its unique aesthetic.
Co-creators Brian Peco and Craig Mailman aimed to capture the spirit of classic Saturday morning cartoons, infusing the series with hilarious characters and a narrative about insatiable desires. The show's setting and premise offer a rich foundation for expanding into stranger territories.
