The Ned Flanders-inspired metal band, Okilly Dokilly, has announced their 2020 When The Comet Gets Here spring tour. Additionally, they have released their latest single, “Slaughterhouse”.
The world’s first and only “Nedal” band, comprised of members Head, Shred, Zed, Dread, and Bed Ned, formed back in 2015 and has since released two full-length studio albums. Although the band originally recorded “Slaughterhouse” for 2019’s Howdilly Twodilly, a Ned Flanders misquote prevented its inclusion. In a statement to Heavy, Head Ned explained the error:
It never made the record because we had to pull the song, due to a grievous error. I recorded the quote wrong. The lyrics to Slaughterhouse, like the vast majority of our other songs, is composed from a direct Flanders quote [from The Simpsons]… I realized the quote was originally written down wrong. We immediately pulled it from the record. After a re-record in December of 2019, ‘Slaughterhouse’ was ready to go.
Listen to “Slaughterhouse” below.
