 Jack Black and Kyle Glass have released only 1 album since the inception of their team in 1985. That album came in 2001 and was the hugely successful, self-titled "Tenacious D." That album is to receive its sequel with the release of Tenacious D's first film and accompanying soundtrack, "The Pick of Destiny".
Although titled a rock band, a great deal of Tenacious D's fame comes from movie appearances and the success of their HBO television show. Jack Black has featured in such movies as "Orange County", "Anchorman", and Peter Jackson's "King Kong".
The couple's absurdist and often vulgar humor is to be featured on the big screen as "The Pick of Destiny" chronicles the story of Tenacious D's adventure attempting to steal the "Pick of Destiny"; a legendary item which will allow them to become the greatest rock band of all time.
Hollywood Poker's Meat Loaf plays Jack's father in the film. The casting decision is fitting as Meat Loaf's rock music was no doubt inspiration for Tenacious D's rousing rock anthems.
