Tenacious D, the self-proclaimed “GREATEST BAND ON EARTH,” recently announced the upcoming release of Post-Apocalypto, an audiovisual “masterpiece” which includes a brand-new album and an animated web series to go along with it. Today, the comedy rock duo, Jack Black and Kyle Gass, share their third single, “TAKE US INTO SPACE” as well as the third episode, “Space”, from the video series. Enjoy:

In an interview with Kerrang! earlier this year, Black referenced the plans for a new Tenacious D project, saying “We’ve been working on it for years. It’s a post-apocalyptic musical comedy that’s an animated series that no one wanted in Hollywood but we’re making it anyway. And it’s very cheap, and it looks cheap, but that’s what makes it funnier.” He went on to liken the animation style (drawn by Jack himself) to those of Beavis & Butthead. “So that’s the plan, we’re making this album called Post-Apocalypto, and it’s all a story, like a rock opera like Tommy or The Wall….just like those.”
The band first officially hinted at the new release during their headlining slot at Shaky Knees Music Festival in May. Soon after, Kage and J-Bles released their first teaser video for Post Apocalypto as part of the announcement of their first tour in five years (“new album 2018…probably…new tour 2018…DEFINITELY”).
