Not to brag, but I can pinpoint my fertility, too. All I need is some lotion and a little DSL-quality internet and some napkins. WILLIAM MURDERFACE 
William Murderface is a fictional member of the virtual metal band Dethklok who are the lead characters in the animated series Metalocalypse. He is voiced by show's co-creator and former co-writer Tommy Blacha.

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

Murderface has brown hair, lime green eyes, a heavy lateral lisp and a diastema, as well as tattoos on his stomach which state "Pobody's Nerfect" and "This Mess Is A Place." This is also a reference to Kirk Hammett's tattoos as he also has a tattoo on his stomach in that design. He is overweight, stocky, hairy, and repeatedly referred to as 'dog-faced' and 'pug-nosed'. William is incredibly sensitive about his appearance, which his bandmates show little sympathy for and frequently contribute to with disparaging and vituperative remarks. His face looks like murder, hence his namesake. He hinted to Nathan that his grotesque looks may have been a motivating factor in his parents' murder-suicide. Dr. Gibbitz, the Tribunal Murderface expert, describes Murderface as being the "perfect specimen of devolution", with a "Cro-Magnon brow, distended jaw, clammy hands, puckled stomach, back pimpleage, hitchhiker thumbs, hammer ass, fallen arches, chicken-plucked legs, sandpapery eczema-style skin, and dry, unkempt triangle hair". Murderface's use of his p***s to play the bass has reportedly left it callused, giving it a "gnarled" appearance (as if it had been 'stuck in a hornets' nest', according to Pickles). Pickles and Skwisgaar also described his backside as looking like cottage cheese, with razor-burn and stubble. He is usually seen carrying a knife, which he uses to eat, mutilate, and cause general destruction with.

Concept

Some fans believe his appearance is based on Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath. Others speculate his appearance is based on Leslie Mandoki from Dschinghis Khan, as well as Motörhead's Phil Taylor. Personality

Murderface has a habit of urinating inappropriately (on a display of olives at the grocery store and on journalist Nick Ibsen's shoes) or referring to urination, and even has a one-man side project called Planet Piss, to which he seems to have very little real commitment.[1] According to the Tribunal's expert, Dr. Gibbitz, Murderface is a self-destructive personality who expresses his self-loathing through "bodily mutilation, tattooing, alcohol abuse, and coprophilia." According to Pickles, he is a nihilist and likes to collect "morbid crap" such as torture devices and American Civil War memorabilia.[2] Murderface has at least some familiarity with firearms as he recognizes the sound of his "driving gun" (an antique Mauser C96 handgun) after hearing it fired.[3] Despite outwardly being the angriest and most violent member of Dethklok, Murderface is arguably the most sensitive and insecure. He is convinced that he is hideous and unlovable, and refers to himself as "the fat one." He seems to go through periods of loneliness and depression, which are only magnified by his bandmates' complete inability to react to his emotions.

Murderface promoting the Rock and Roll diet Murderface is a hedonistic alcoholic, as he would rather cut off his p***s than admit that "booze ain't food". He regularly throws tantrums when he is frustrated or annoyed, which has resulted in several destroyed bass guitars, two acoustic guitars, and one guitar of Toki's. After a near-death experience (falling drunk from the Murdercycle, and subsequent mayhem) he was prompted to seek faith in several churches, including the Church of Satan and the Church of the Atheists. Eventually he decided that all religions were "the same boring crap" and gave up his search.[4] He is quite homophobic, which becomes a sort of running gag with him, as he is often put in situations where it comes close to suggesting homosexual desires. This is most prominent in "Dethfashion", where he has a press conference to clarify that, despite the band's venture into the fashion world, he is not gay. He also refuses to eat anything he considers phallic, even if it is cut into small pieces. However, he is caught later in the episode eating a sausage, and in "Doublebookedklok", he eats a hot dog while taking a dump in a public toilet at a gas station. His distrust of doctors is mainly due to his homophobia and his misunderstanding of medical examinations of the male genitals (comparing it to being "jacked off"). All of this behavior has led to fan theories that he is a self-hating closeted gay man. While Murderface is fully aware of his own laziness (at one point claiming that anything he has to work for isn't worth doing), he often believes he should be credited to more of the band's success than he is. In "Dethsiduals", he and Toki unsuccessfully sued the other members of the band for writer's credits and residuals, despite the fact that he doesn't produce or contribute anything in the songwriting process. Because of his attitude, he and Toki were temporarily kicked out of Dethklok.

Skills & Hobbies

Murderface is referred to as the "Ck Slap Bassist" due to his ability to perform slap-style bass solos using only his ps. In "Rehabklok", he admits he has a habit of choking himself while jacking off every morning. Murderface collects "morbid crap" such as torture devices, medieval weapons, and other implements of death. He also collects American Civil War memorabilia and is an American Civil War buff. In "Dethkomedy", he plays golf with the rest of Dethklok and Judge Alfonzo after their Dethwatercivil suit. Murderface thinks he is a great speller, but demonstrated his lack of skills in his preparation and appearance on "Celebrity Spelling Bee." He has a driving license. Music Talents Murderface plays the bass guitar for the band; however, this seems rather unnecessary, as Nathan has stated that they mix his bass out of "pretty much every song." However, Murderface improves noticeably after Pickles introduces him to the concept of "free-balling," prompting the rest of the band to consider including his bass on their next album.[3] He plays a black five-string Gibson Thunderbird Studio Bass with a white pickguard. He is able to play bass with his ps (which he refers to as his "hog").[2] In the episode "Cleanzo" it is revealed that Murderface has never written a complete song for Dethklok, despite claiming he was the "lead songwriter" in a press conference, and that his bass lines were figured out and shown to him by Skwisgaar, which he still doesn't perform well enough to actually merit any respect by the band. Murderface tries twice to write a song in "Cleanzo", first an acoustic song (presumably) called "Titty Fish" , the second, a reggae song for Dr. Rockzo; both of these attempts are thwarted after Murderface gets frustrated and smashes the guitar. He has side-band called Planet Piss, with Takin' It Easy being the only real song. However, mostly due to his laziness and lack of commitment to getting the project actually running, the side-band never materializes beyond a concept. "Takin' It Easy" was meant to be a Dethklok song and was mostly constructed by Toki not Murderface himself despite coming up with the idea for the song. In "Dethsiduals" when he and Toki are forced to write a song for Get Thee Hence, Murderface took to playing the drums as well as the bass for this, though Toki was moving his hand to guide William on when to hit. In the same episodes, it is revealed that the pair are the only reason behind Dethklok's image, and without the pair Pickles, Nathan and Skwisgaar end up writing happy songs. Apart from playing the bass with his p*s, Murderface has been shown to be able to play bass fluently with and without a pick.

Education/Training Despite being unable to spell particularly well, possibly suffering from dyslexia, he has some education. He revealed in "Go Forth and Die" he only got a high school diploma because he threatened the principal. In "The Doomstar Requiem", when talking about alternatives to being who he was, he mentioned he could go back to school and earn a degree in "in something fucking useless like psychology". This might be wishful thinking on his part, given how he got his diploma by coercion. In the episode "Bluesklok", Murderface asserts to the Crossroads man that he is a notary. This implies Murderface underwent extensive legal training at some point in his life and is licensed by the government to perform legal authorizations. Relationships

Nathan Explosion William seems to look up to Nathan as the leader of the band, but at the same time resents that he is not given more credit. William often agrees with Nathan's assessment of most situations, but often passes off Nathan's ideas as his own. Nathan, like most of the other band members, gets along with Murderface well enough, though they don't always see eye-to-eye.

Toki Wartooth Toki often accompanies Murderface in his schemes. Though friends, they tend to have their fair deal of disputes, contributing to a cycle of rivalry and camaraderie between the two of them. William was the first to advocate kicking Toki out of the band, for instance, though none of the others seemed to take him very seriously. Skwisgaar Skwigelf Murderface and Skwisgaar generally get along well, though aren't without their disagreements. Skwisgaar freely admits that he deletes and re-records Murderface's bass lines himself, much to the consternation of William. Murderface hates the fact that Skwisgaar is handsome and talented, even going so far as to challenge Skwisgaar to a contest to determine who could have sex with more women in a given time (Skwisgaar won easily, as William bedded exactly zero women). Occasionally, however, William and Skwisgaar have done things together, such as watching "Faces of Death" while eating whipped cream and chocolate, when Toki was away at Rock-a-Rooni Fantasy Camp.

Pickles While not sparing the bassist from any criticism, Pickles and Murderface are friendly towards one another, with William often joining Pickles in his notorious drinking binges. Pickles is often the voice of reason when William proposes a bad idea, to which Murderface often responds with hostility or complaint. Women Murderface shows that he has an attraction to Serveta Skwigelf, much to the dismay of Skwisgaar. In "Dethfam", Serveta's first appearance, Murderface tells Skwisgaar that his mother is "cool," only for Skwisgaar to deny that. Murderface is also shown to be unpopular with women due to his status as bass player and his unattractiveness. He has also been shown to sexually harass Dethklok's female employees. However, it should be noted that in "Dethgov" he is seen driving around in a police car with a beautiful women who appears to have been performing fellatio on him moments earlier. Family Murderface holds his family in contempt, stating that they're "[...] repugnant. I'd rather die than grow old and repugnant like them."

based on a headcanon Murderface definitely sleeps in his birthday suit. Probably gets up to piss in the middle of the night a few times, but he's half asleep so he'll miss the toilet and just be pissin on the floor. Honestly his sheets are probably coated in piss and sweat too. He is just disgusting. His cuddling status is probably nonexistent, in the fact he's the guy to steal the covers or just straight up shove you off the bed in his sleep. SNORREEESSS like a motherfucker. It's like a train horn going off every 5 seconds. Probably has sleep apnea too so he like chokes and struggles to breathe sometimes, just let him power through it. He has a mini fridge by the bed that he'll raid in the middle of the night.
