I'll look forward th Dethalbum of Dethklok, i promise.

Born in New Port Richey, Florida to Oscar and Rose Explosion, Nathan Explosion is the lead singer and the "lyrical visionary" of Dethklok, as made evident in the show, who always speaks in a deep, gravelly voice even when not singing. According to intelligence gathered by the Tribunal, Nathan did not learn to speak until the age of five and was an unremarkable student in high school, excelling only in frog dissection and football. He eventually dropped out without earning his GED, although the varsity jacket he is seen wearing during his high school years indicates that, had he graduated, it would have been sometime during the 1990s.

Nathan is a binge-drinking alcoholic, once even going into a pub and ordering exactly 100 beers to drink in a single sitting, although he was not served, due to the fact Dethklok had summoned a lake troll. Because of his excessive drinking, Nathan has to undergo repeated liver replacement surgery, vomiting blood on at least one occasion due to his condition. Probably related to his drinking is his steadily increasing weight; one tabloid estimated him at 250 pounds and climbing. Whenever called upon to speak publicly for more than a few brief sentences, Nathan quickly degenerates into incoherence and becomes frustrated; however, he is nonetheless capable of reading and reciting all of Shakespeare's works for a Books on Tape collection. Several of the characters in the show address Nathan as "Tonto", in joking reference to the pidgin English spoken by The Lone Ranger's sidekick and the fact that Nathan speaks in short, simple sentences. Occasionally, he is seen wearing glasses while reading or using his laptop.

Nathan often describes things in terms of whether or not they are "brutal" or "metal," and, according to an expert procured by the Tribunal, shares a similar psychological profile as former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in his ability to "galvanize the proletariat." Nathan has shown himself to be clueless about most things outside the scope of metal. For instance, he was unaware of the fact that the band could fire their employees. He also believes that the Mariana Trench is located somewhere near the Iberian Peninsula. However, Nathan has proven several times that he is not completely devoid of common sense; he figured out that the band's therapist, Twinkletits, was using the banana stickers as psychological validation, and when Toki's tooth falls out, Nathan explains that it was because Toki was eating too much candy.

Nathan carries a digital recording device, in which he notes any interesting song material he may run across (usually limited to murder or similar acts of brutality). He has exacting standards, and will delete entire finished Dethklok albums if they do not ultimately meet his approval. He also hates wearing watches, and sometimes will buy large amounts of watches just to destroy them. He is always seen with his fingernails painted black. Nathan has his own brand of barbecue sauce known as "Explosion Sauce," a mustardy North Carolina blend with a hint of cilantro, which he is known to drink out of the bottle. He estimates that he only wears underwear approximately 65% of the time.

In the episode "Girlfriendklok," Nathan found a controlling celebrity girlfriend, Rebecca Nightrod, voiced by actress Laura Silverman, who forced him to tone down his behavior. He hated her temper tantrums and demands, and described his hatred of her as much more brutal than his ordinary hate. Though his bandmates tortured him until they convinced him to dump her, a subsequent mishap involving an unusually steep flight of stairs and a broken high heel left her comatose and severely disfigured, after which Nathan described her as "the ultimate girlfriend."
