It has been over 10 years since your Alien Overlords GWAR feasted on the souls of the Old World. At last, the wait is finally over. The time has come for GWAR‘s insatiable thirst for blood to be quenched. Yes, you heard right! Your Lords and Masters GWAR will make their triumphant return across the pond late this November into December on their “Use Your Collusion” 2019 European & UK Tour. The attack begins in Bochum, Germany on November 22nd. They end their invasion by storming Zurich, Switzerland on December 14th, and by that time the continent will be little more than a smoldering pile of poo. Main support for the whole tour are metal legends VOIVOD! All tickets will be available for purchase at gwar.net. Pre-sales begin today and the general public on-sale is set for August 16th, 9:00am GMT.

“GWAR has waited long enough to terrorize youth across the pond. What better way to spend a winter than pillaging and copulating across Europe“, says guitarist Pustulus Maximus.

Lead singer The Berserker Blóthar chimes in, “All of Europe will bow to the majesty of GWAR! We will destroy your cities and consume all of your drugs. We will bring welcome death to the most depressed, emotionally and sexually repressed people on Earth. I cannot wait to wreak havoc on your infinitely inferior plumbing.“

“In Europe they call me doner kabob because that’s all I eat there. I Love European culture. Can’t wait for the tour“, adds drummer JiZMak da Gusha.

Footage of the band announcing the tour has leaked from their fortress in Antarctica. Watch the video:

GWAR Release Video For “Viking Death Machine”

gwar-vdm

Human Scum! It is now that time of year and your Lords and Masters GWAR will soon awaken from their Antarctic slumber to devastate North America once again. The “Gore, Core, Metal and More” tour will be co-headlined by GWAR, and the mighty Hatebreed! This rolling heavy metal nightmare kicks off October 7th, following an appearance from GWAR at the Rock Allegiance Festival in Camden, NJ on October 6th. A complete list of all dates can be found below.

Before the tour begins, GWAR is pleased as a bowl of bloody punch to share with you the new video for their epic song “Viking Death Machine,” taken from their latest opus, 2017′s The Blood of Gods, a masterpiece of obscenity chronicling the rise of humanity against their makers, and the massive battle between GWAR and the forces of all that is uptight and wrong with the world. The video was created by Makinita Silva, an Ecuadorian masked Luchador who is also an independent 2-D animator.

Watch the video here:

Of the video, Blothar has the following to say: “Humans, are you ready to ride the ‘Viking Death Machine’? Our latest video is a faithful animated schlockumentary depicting my harrowing, blood-drenched defeat of the Load Warriors and the other denizens of Saturday morning raceway hijinks, including all of my fellow bandmates in GWAR. I am delighted to take my rightful place as the King of Cartoon Violence, and champion of the first annual Suck-It-Up-Butter Cup! Watch the video now! It’ll make you shit.”

GWAR Announce Australian Tour

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 28, 2018
Posted in: Int. News. Tagged: , . Leave a comment

Earth’s favourite interplanetary warriors, GWAR, are returning to conquer and destroy Australia in APRIL 2018!

The Blood of Gods Tour continues on into Australia, as your masters and supreme overlords take their one of a kind carnival of blood-drenched death and destruction Down Under. The last time GWAR visited Australia in 2014, they upset the Australian public with the controversial and media-hyped beheading of an effigy of then-Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. The body count will be even higher when GWAR returns to Australia in April of 2018 for more heavy metal carnage. Mark your calendars or leave the country.

gwar-australia

Blothar the Berskerer had this to say about the upcoming bloodbath: “People of Australia, koala bears, kangaroos, crocodiles, wallabies…lend me your ears…and your skulls, and all of your internal organs…GWAR is coming to turn the Land of Dreams into your worst nightmare. Fire up the barby, we are going to eat Australia!

“As for the Adelaide scum and your worthless existence, the so-called “Rock Capital of Australia”… is that crack rock? We shall turn the Great Australian Bight into our Great Australian BITE as our parting gift to Australia.“

GWAR are riding the wave of worldwide dominance with their new record The Blood of Gods, released by Metal Blade Records in October 2017. The new record, and the spectacular tour to support it, have been praised by fans and media alike as triumphs of unimaginable genius.

Formed in Antarctica 1984 by manager Sleazy P. Martini, GWAR has forged a path of debauchery for over 30 years and it seems their work is still not done.

GWAR‘s mythology is rich in political and social satire. Their cult-following is galvanized by their controversial, indefatigable and ostentatious live performances, where crowds of willing slaves are subjected to ripe humour and theatrical imagery… and lots and lots of blood, vomit and other bodily fluids.

“This tour was a masterpiece of the bizarre, an epic telling of a collection of freakish fairy tales” – metalwani.com

The wait is over, GWAR release their latest opus The Blood of Gods today (October 20th) via Metal Blade Records. Furthermore the band has teamed up with HowardStern.com, the online home of the Howard Stern Show, for an exclusive premiere of their new video for “I’ll Be Your Monster”. Get a first look at the video, directed by David Brodsky of MyGoodEye, here: facebook.com

GWAR are set to return to the The Howard Stern Wrap Up Show this Halloween, Tuesday October 31st. The band is set to perform two songs, including their new single “I’ll Be Your Monster” and another special song. The show is hosted by Gary Dell’Abate and Jon Hein and airs at 11:00AM EST on Howard 100 and Howard 101 on SiriusXM and repeats throughout the day.

The Blood of Gods is available for pre-order at metalblade.com/gwar. Digital pre-orders come with instant downloads of “Fuck This Place,” “El Presidente” and “I’ll Be Your Monster.”

GWAR are set to return to the long road starting tomorrow on “The Blood Of Gods Tour,” which kicks off in Richmond, VA.

Humans are shown as what they are: a parasitic disease that must be eradicated before they suck the planet dry!
