The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog reports that Cartoon Network and Konami will announce a Metalocalypse game at Comic-Con later this week.

The hit Cartoon Network show has also had a hit album, comic books and a song released for Guitar Hero.

The new game, Metalocalypse: Dethgame, will be released on PSN and Xbox LIVE Arcade and will follow the action-packed lives of roadies fighting in the service of metal band Dethklok.

"The first idea was we make the band merciless and murderous but that doesn't work on the show," said Brendon Small, the show's creator. "Our show is really about five narcissistic super-celebrities who can't open the door by themselves."
