More about GWAR

GWAR, an American heavy metal band, was formed in 1984 and consists of a frequently-rotated lineup. The frontman and lead singer Dave Brockie, passed away in 2014. Despite that, the band has continued touring and making music despite that.

The band is known for its grotesque costumes and thematic and visual concepts around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology portraying the band members as barbaric warriors.

In a press release, Blothar the Berserker said,

“Long ago, GWAR broke the frame of what a rock concert can be. We’ve pushed the envelope of live performance for decades, but this time around, we wanted to do something different. This is the first GWAR show conceived to go along with a graphic novel and an album, all working together as one massive hunk of hot steaming shock rock performance ART!"

The band has collaborated with Z2 Comics for their graphic novel, GWAR In the Duoverse of Absurdity, which was released on July 15 and can be ordered through the band’s website.
