Dave Grohl Plays Drums on Tenacious D's New Album 'Post-Apocalypto'

Tenacious D's new album features the beloved drum pyrotechnics of Dave Grohl

The world's favorite acoustic heavy metal comedy duo Jack Black and Kyle Gass will release an animated web series, titled Post Apocalypto, on September 28, with an accompanying full-length concept album of the same name due November 2, Rolling Stone reports. 

Grohl, who has recorded drums on each Tenacious D album going back to the band's 2001 debut, returns on the latest record, which was produced by long-time D collaborator John Spiker.

Post-Apocalypto is the band's first album since 2012's Rize of the Fenix

Grohl returned to the drums earlier this summer in his mini-documentary PLAY, which features the Foo Fighters frontman exploring the challenges and rewards of learning music.

In the doc, Grohl recorded an epic 23-minute instrumental in which he recorded parts of every instrument himself and in one take. 

In the series and on the album album, Tenacious D wakes up in a refrigerator after a nuclear holocaust. Per usual, the unlikely heroes go on an epic journey in which the fate of the world hangs in the balance. 

Black reportedly hand-drew every frame of the six-part web series. He and Gass voice every character.

The band teased earlier this summer that it was preparing new material

Tenancious D's first tour in five years kicks off in November.
