As far as pet projects go, I have always held a special place in my heart for Tenacious D. The gag band, that features comedic actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black, are much more than just a one note sideshow. They are actually HUGE fans of the hard rock they perform in the group and would definitely have loved to have lived that career path if they could do it all over again. One of the most underrated movies I have ever seen has to be Tenacious D & The Pick of Destiny. The movie is very polarizing, and a lot of people hate it. But if you are a fan of things like Spinal Tap, Flight of the Concords, or similar properties than you are probably one of the few like me who loved it. I am actually not a huge fan of Black on a regular basis, but I always liked him opposite Gass in the fictional hard rock band. So to tout their return album, "Rize of the Fenix", here is the pro,o video they released for the film. It stars The D alongside celebs like Val Kilmer, Maria Menudous, Josh Groban, and others and chronicles the return of The D in all their glory. They are BACK!!! Click after the jump for the promo clip, Rize of the Fenix is out in stores in May 2012.
Fun!
