GWAR Announce Australian Tour

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.

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 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.”

America’s Youth Have Been Infected!! GWAR Wraps Up Their Run on The Vans Warped Tour

New Album “The Blood Of Gods” Set For Release October 20th via Metal Blade Records.

The youth of America have been infected! As the stars of the 2017 Vans Warped Tour, your Lords and Masters have GWAR destroyed and pillaged the country all summer long, as only they could. Warped Tour fans and fellow bands alike were molested, mutilated and left emotionally devastated by GWAR‘s performances from sea to shining sea. The one and only Beefcake the Mighty, “killed” Billy Hamilton the bassist of Silverstein and then took his place in the band, playing the band’s new single “Ghost” – watch HERE.

Just this past weekend as the Warped Tour was wrapping up, The Berserker Blothar took to the stage along with Sawborg Destructo and their slaves to “murder” American Authors singer Zac Barnett. Blothar then took over the vocal duties of their hit song, changing the lyrics to “Last Day of My Life” as the savage attack continued – watch HERE.

Guitarist Pustulus Maximus commented on the end of Warped Tour and what bohabs can expect next from your lords and masters:

“Our summer’s long journey to corrupt the moral turpitude of America’s youth is now complete. Much thanks to the other bands, crew and children with whom we shared blood, sex and violence. Now, on to tell the tale of “The Blood of Gods!“

On October 20th, GWAR will release a new studio album entitled “The Blood of Gods” via Metal Blade Records. “The Blood of Gods” is nothing less than a sacred text 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. Along the way, the band challenges the sins of their great mistake, from politics, pollution, and organized religion, to fast food, and factory farming. Humans are shown as what they are; a parasitic disease that must be eradicated before they suck the planet dry. Meanwhile, Sleazy P. Martini, the crooked entrepreneur who discovered the Scumdogs, and has always envisioned them as a sort of horrific boy band, finally managed to convince the group to write a hit song called “I’ll Be Your Monster.” If all goes according to plan, it may be just stupid enough to work!

Of course, “The Blood of Gods” is the first GWAR album without the band’s fallen brother, Oderus Urungus. The title of the album refers to the loss of Oderus and the struggles and triumphs that produced the new sound of the band. Born of adversity, “The Blood of Gods” is a sonic scar…a question asked and answered…Death cannot kill GWAR. Nothing can. GWAR LIVES MOTHERFUCKERS!

GWAR are taking a quick break following Warped Tour, then heading back out on the road for an appearance at Chicago’s Riot Fest and a couple of additional headline dates (including an appearance at Land Of Illusion in Middletown, OH. Following those shows, the band will return home to Antarctica to prepare for a never-ending tour in support of “The Blood Of Gods“. More information including dates, venues, and support bands will be made available when GWAR feels like it.

GWAR LIVE:
9/15: Knoxville, TN @ The International
9/16: Middletown, OH @ Land of Illusion (Free Show With Admission To Park)
9/17: Chicago, IL @ Riot Fest

GWAR W/ Stonecutters:
11/2: Louisville, KY @ Mercury Ballroom (Moved From 9/16)
