Combining dramatic vocals, blistering guitar work and theatrical heavy metal arrangements, it remains one of Tenacious D's most celebrated recordings. \u003cem\u003ePOD\u003c\/em\u003e follows with another powerful rock performance before \u003cem\u003eThe Metal\u003c\/em\u003e closes the album with an unforgettable tribute to heavy metal's enduring power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending \u003cstrong\u003ehard rock, heavy metal, acoustic rock and musical comedy\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Pick of Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e is both an affectionate celebration of classic rock and a brilliantly exaggerated parody of its biggest conventions.
