GWAR To Tour Europe In Early 2012 Despite The Death Of Cory Smoot!

Ancient Antarctic Metal marauders GWAR will carry on with their plans to tour Europe in January 2012, despite the recent death of guitarist Cory Smoot, during the bands "Return of the World Maggot Tour".

Said GWAR spokesman Dave Brockie (A.K.A. Oderus Urungus): "When Cory died, we all wanted to go home and take care of the family and our own grief. But the best way to do that is by playing all the shows we have planned. The response from the U.S. Metal community and especially the whole international GWAR family has been overwhelmingly supportive... these GWAR fans need the chance to pay their respects to Cory, and canceling any shows would deprive them of that."

"Let's make these shows a celebration of Cory Smoot, one of the most amazing players in Metal... I am calling on the European GWAR family to get out there and drag everybody in sight to these gigs! We shall honor Flattus Maximus in the only way we know how... by rocking the fuck out!!!"

The Smoots, GWAR, and Metal Blade Records have created the "Smoot Family Fund", and GWAR and Slave Pit are calling on the Metal community to support Cory's family in this tragic time. Donations can be made here.

"C'mon everybody from our Rock star buddies to the most zit-covered bohab,"said Brockie. "Cory had a growing family that is going to need help-for a long time. Of course GWAR is doing everything we can, and we need you to help as well.

If you would prefer to donate to the Smoot Family Fund by mail, the address is:

Slave Pit Inc. (C/O Smoot Family Fund)
PO Box 5225
Richmond, VA 23220

The band has officially retired the character of Flattus Maximus, and will finish the U.S. and Europe tours as a four-piece. GWAR lead singer Oderus Urungus had this to say about their missing lead guitarist.

"Flattus, without our permission I might add, has stolen our Skumship and returned to his beloved home planet, Planet Home. So once again we are marooned on your miserable planet!"

Check out this amazing video tribute to Cory:



For 27 years GWAR's relentless tour schedule and bristling release schedule have been evidence of the bands fanatical dedication to not only their fans but Metal itself. GWAR's decision to continue on with these tours has put that dedication to the test like nothing before. Now more than ever they need your support. HAIL FLATTUS, AND HAIL GWAR!

Black Sabbath Announce European Tourdates!

Last Friday (November 11th), the pioneers of Heavy Metal, the legendary band Black Sabbath, announced that they will be recording a new album in 2012 with producer Rick Rubin! The band also announced that they are planning a World Tour! The band is estimated to earn the musicians £100 million a piece, that's around $159 million, meaning each member of the band could take home up to £25 million (approximately $40 million)!

Black Sabbath attempted to record a new album in 1998, but had to abandon the project due to personal issues within the band and as a result only released two songs as part of a concert album entitled "Reunion". Following the "Reunion" tour that took place that same year, the band reunited sporadically in 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2005 for select concerts. The last time that the quartet of doom appeared together, was at their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006.

Today (November 18th), Black Sabbath has announced a chunk of European tour-dates.

Here they are:

- May 18: Moscow, Russia - Olimpiski
- May 20: St. Petersburg, Russia - New Arena
- May 23: Helsinki, Finland - Hartwall Arena
- May 25: Stockholm, Sweden - Stadium
- May 29: Bergen, Norway - Bergen Calling Festival
- May 31: Oslo, Norway - Spektrum
- Jun. 02: Malmö, Sweden - Malmö Stadium
- Jun. 04: Dortmund, Germany - Westfalenhalle
- Jun. 10: Donnington, UK - Download Festival
- Jun. 12: Rotterdam, Holland - Ahoy
- Jun. 15: Bilbao, Spain - Azkena Rock Festival
- Jun. 17: Nantes, France - Hellfest
- Jun. 19: Paris, France - Bercy
- Jun. 22: Dessel, Belgium - Graspop Metal Meeting
- Jun. 24: Milan, Italy - Gods of Metal
