Splatterthrash crossover kings GHOUL are currently on tour with GWAR, MUNICIPAL WASTE, and LEGACY OF DISORDER, merrily massacring their way across the continental United States and having a devil of a time shredding through classic cuts as well as newer material from 2011's critically acclaimed and viciously fun 'Transmission Zero' (now available on CD/LP/digitally from Tankcrimes).
Cremator has supplied us with the following update, assuring us that he and his fellow numbskulls are alive and well. The rest of the crew... well, you'll see.
"We thought Creepsylania was a dump, but now we are homesick… this backwards country we are touring, called by locals, "'Merica," is horrible! Granted, we like violence, but never has GHOUL witnessed citizenry that is so bent on hurting and destroying each other.
"While these "moshing pits" of yours are eminently hilarious to view from the stage, it leaves us a little sad that we have so few people left to kill ourselves at the end of the show. I guess we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, as the littered corpses have kept us well fed for long drives.
"From the beast coast to the midwest, we've had a very hard go of it. Every night the Creepsylvanian authorities show up and try to shut down our show before we even begin. Just when we think we've gotten rid of them and are pummeling the audience to submission, their bastard creation Killbot shows up and beats the shit out of Cremator. Luckily, we brought the best roadie in the world, Kogar the Destructor. He is the whole road crew all in one and manages to beat the mechanical moron back without fail… so far.
"Thrashing out excellently next to us has been the band of original party dudes, MUNICIPAL WASTE. What a burden, though! They keep drinking all the rot gut and numbskull that Fermentor makes before we are even off the stage. How is a Ghoul to get drunk? Your 'Merican beer may have made Bud wiser, but it just makes us vomit. Another day fucked up by the Waste and waking up with the gutbucket blues.
"The lads from New Zealand, Legacy of Disorder, are rocking it just as hard and representing the Shire well. Digestor is repeatedly disappointed, however, to find our deli tray emptied by them. The LOD members eat first breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, tea, dinner, AND supper. I wonder if anyone has told them our deli tray is full of human viscera?
"The lords and masters of this tour, GWAR, seem to act like our friends. We're not so sure. Many a night we've heard tale of groupies waiting for us and then Dissector finds a pile of dead chicks, assholes ripped apart, smelling of cuttlefish. We have our suspicions.
"Still, we Ghouls persevere along with our comrades on the tour, Mr. Fang and Baron Samedi. We cram in our bloodied van night after night, Kogar on top, and get ready to hit the next town. The slavering sycophantic crowds have been welcoming to our splatterthrash. We're looking forward to more nights of haunting your nightmares and emptying your cemeteries. We are the things that go bump in the night… and bleed your ear drums with rock 'n' roll."

After a long absence from the public eye, intergalactic front-thing Oderus Urungus of the mighty GWAR graced today the cable-waves with his unlordly presence, and appeared as a wanna-be sports commentator on the Dan Patrick Show! That's right, Oderus in all his fetid glory entered the man-cave, met the Danettes, and talked sports with Patrick for an entire hour!
Oderus commented on topics as wide-ranging as the NCAA tournament, Peyton Manning's future, and "Canadian twit" Avril Lavigne, Gwar lead singer Oderus Urungus spent an hour on-set of The Dan Patrick Show this morning.
He also appeared to annoy executive producer Todd Fritz on several occasions, though given the nature of the show it's tough to say if this was authentic annoyance or simply played up for comedic effect. Either way, it was bizarre but deliciously funny.
In other GWAR news, your lords and masters have been confirmed to headline the New York Zombie Prom on June 9th at Irving Plaza in New York City. GWAR, will close the event which also features a pageant of the undead and a killer raffle for an original full page drawing from "The Walking Dead" comic book series. Half of the proceeds from the raffle will benefit The Smoot Family Fund. Tickets are available now and can be purchased at the link below.
GWAR just kicked off the second leg of "The Return of The World Maggot Tour" this Friday in Richmond, VA with a special tribute show for their fallen brother Cory Smoot AKA Flattus Maximus. The show will feature giveaways, raffles and much more as we celebrate the life of Cory Smoot. All proceeds from the show will go to The Smoot Family Fund, tickets can be purchased right here!

After a long absence from the public eye, intergalactic front-thing Oderus Urungus of the mighty GWAR will once again grace the cable-waves with his unlordly presence, as our wanna-be sports commentator appears on the Dan Patrick Show next week! That's right, Oderus in all his fetid glory will enter the man-cave, meet the Danettes, and bask in the glow that is sure to emanate from the luminary figure that we all know Dan Patrick to be! Oderus will share the mike with the man who actually got to touch the Super Bowl trophy and Brooklyn Decker's hand. The appearance is scheduled for Monday March 19th and the show airs from 9:00 AM EST from 12:00 PM EST.
"I'm not gonna lie. I am a big Dan fan, and a proud member of the Dan-nation. I find his smarmy charm most ingratiating. I also hope he can help me with my hair," said the warty one, reached at his Antarctic abode. He continued -
"I'm not gonna lie...I hate people that say 'I'm not gonna lie'. I mean, what does that mean, that someone usually does lie when they talk to you? That unless they preface everything they say to you with 'I'm not gonna lie", you should assume they are lying to you? Dan Patrick would never do that. Dan's a straight-shooter."
Oderus is expected to talk about his NEW FEARnet TV show, "Holliston", the future of GWAR, and of course sports. Our stinky ruler has been known to pen sports columns on occasion, and his obsession with the Washington Redskins is known by his thousands of twitter followers. He has even prepared a bracket for the upcoming NCAA tournament which he plans to present on the show.
''I have the VCU Rams triumphing over the Jamaican bob-sled team", said our confused leader.
Legendary sports host Dan Patrick entertains America in morning drive along with his producers, "The Danettes." The Dan Patrick Show features the most extensive A-list interviews from the world of sports entertainment. The radio show which airs in over 270 markets, features astute knowledge, a dry sense of humor and Patrick's unique perspective, as well as a style which provides a "comfort zone" for his co-hosts. Fans can also see The Dan Patrick Show live on TV each day on DirecTV and across all regional sports networks (FOX Sports Net, Comcast SN, MSG+, Root Sports).

Creepsylvania's finest, the mighty GHOUL, are gearing up to hit the road HARD this spring (with the likes of GWAR, MUNICIPAL WASTE, and Kylesa)! And they need a helping hand from their beloved Ghoulunatics to make sure they survive the trek. The band have created a Kickstarter project in hopes of raising enough dough to snag a NEW tour van to keep the carnage rollin'. Digestor implores you, "Ghoul needs a tour van and we need YOUR help, Numbskulls!"
"Help GHOUL buy a van! Being mutants from a far-away country who barely know how to read and write, and who have limited access to non-pickled-cabbage-related currency, we have a lot of trouble finding transportation in your country. The last tour we did we ended up lashing ourselves to the roof of the headliner's merch truck every night after the show. Not only did they not appreciate the extra gas money we cost them, but we all ended up getting sick with the flu and Dissector was hit in the face by a passing pigeon not once, but twice. Now YOU, the noble and courageous Numbskull, have a chance to help US, the poor, benighted cannibals of Ghoul, by donating to our Kickstarter campaign. Not only will this help the band in the short term, it will allow us to tour more often and bring our message of brotherly love and peace... no wait, I got that wrong... our message of DEATH AND HORROR to you kind, generous, and physically attractive Ghoul fans. Donate now and get some junk!"
With (hopefully) a NEW van to ferry them across this dread continent, GHOUL, will be continuing their mammoth US trek with GWAR with an additional round of live assaults. Joined by prog-doomsters KYLESA and LEGACY OF DISORDER. The band will be shredding through classic cuts as well as newer material from 2011's critically acclaimed and viciously fun Transmission Zero (now available on CD/LP/digitally from Tankcrimes).
In addition, GHOUL will be offering up a special treat for fans of sweet tunes and weird formats - a limited edition foil-stamped flexi, available only from the band themselves and their cohorts at Tankcrimes. Digestor smirks, "We did a cover of "Kids in America" by Kim Wylde, and it was recorded by a dude named Casey Westrope, or at least that's what it looks like his drivers license says. It's hard to read what with all the blood. Our version is about being trapped in the doldrums of everyday life in the catacombs and dreaming of escaping to America to savagely murder our fans. I'm happy to say we'll soon see the dream become reality."
The "Return of the World Maggot" tour kicks off in Richmond, VA on March 16th, 2012 with a special tribute show to benefit the family of GWAR's Cory Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus, who recently passed away. All proceeds from the Richmond show will benefit the "Smoot Family Fund." The first leg of the tour will feature RVA thrash titans MUNICIPAL WASTE as direct support for fellow Richmond metal legends GWAR, with KYLESA taking their place later on.

New Zealand Metallers Legacy of Disorder are about to unleash a kick-ass sophomore release, 'Last Man Standing,' and will soon be taking it to the streets, as they unite with veteran gore Metallists GWAR for a full U.S. tour.
"Legacy Of Disorder are chomping at the bit to get this U.S. tour with headliners Gwar underway," says LoD lead guitarist, Rana Freilich. "We are fully stoked and excited to be included and part of such a cool U.S. tour with such an established band as Gwar Legacy of Disorder is comprised of singer James Robinson, bassist Jason Keill, and drummer Matt Thompson and guitarist Rana Freilich.
With such Hard-hitting standout tracks on the album as 'Break,' 'March to Death' and the title tune 'Last Man Standing', Legacy Of Disorder is certainly starting to hit its Metallic stride. 'Last Man Standing' was engineered, mixed and co/produced by Sterling Winfield (who is best known to the metal masses for his work with Pantera) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura, Halford).
Legacy of Disorder is one ferocious live beast when they hit the stage, so it is only fitting that the quartet will be paired with one of the most over-the-top and outrageous live shows out there.
"Being part of this tour will really give us a chance to get our music heard in the U.S.," adds Freilich. "We can't wait to hit the U.S. to throwdown with Gwar throughout North America!"

Not content with five weeks of North American destruction and devastation, mutant overlords GWAR have announced a second leg to their Spring "Return of the World Maggot Tour". This leg kicks off April 13th in San Antonio, Texas and wraps up April 28th in Allentown, PA. Support on this leg of the tour will come from Kylesa, Ghoul and Legacy of Disorder.
Tickets for fan club members go on sale tomorrow February 8th and tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday February 10th .
"These press releases usually go something like this--", said bellicose front-thing Oderus Urungus. "There is a general statement about what GWAR is up to, then I say something stupid, then it goes to a list of the shows and a bunch of links. That's what's happening right now. We really have to work harder to make these things more interesting."
Oderus adjusted his tie and continued -- "We are finishing this last spate of shows as a tribute to fallen Scumdog Flattus Maximus, and will be playing as a four piece behind the screaming assault of Balsac. In this way we shall give all the US bohabs ample chance to fall to their knees in a sobbing heap when confronted with the reality of Flattus' departure... and a chance to say farewell. Then GWAR can move forward, and we shall."
The first leg of the tour kicks off with a special tribute show for fallen band mate and friend Cory Smoot, AKA Flattus Maximus, in Richmond, VA, at The National Theater on Friday March 16th. All proceeds from the Richmond show will benefit the "Smoot Family Fund" which has been established to help support Cory's widow and their unborn child. Support on this run will come from fellow Richmond Metallers Municipal Waste and California's Ghoul.

Tickets for fan club members go on sale tomorrow January 25th and tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday January 27th and Saturday January 28th .
Personal slave to Oderus and Slave Pit spokesman Dave Brockie had this to say...
"All the years of doing GWAR could never have prepared us for what we have been through, and I want to thank the Metal community and the extended GWAR family for all of your support. Finishing that last tour was the hardest thing we have ever had to do, and we still have about half of the country left to hit. We will continue as a four-piece, with the special tribute to Flattus at the end of the show, in order to give our fans a chance to say goodbye to our fallen Scumdog brother in true GWAR fashion-covered in blood and rocking the fuck out! After this tour is over we can start looking to the future and begin to put this tragedy behind us. But for now we are still in "Hail Flattus" mode!"

This Fall, the scariest band of the planet, GWAR, is ready to decimate North America once again! After completing a successful run through Europe, in which they destroyed various Summer festivals and also headlined numerous shows, GWAR is ready to spew all of you with some hard hitting vulgar music!
In order to celebrate all things GWAR, the band will be performing on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday October 27th as part of their humongous "Return of the World Maggot" tour, set to crawl forth from Hell next week. This is what GWAR's front-beast Oderus Urungus had to say about this.
"We are overjoyed that Jimmy had the good sense to invite us back, as we had planned to return anyway. Now Fallon can do the show with his head still attached to his body."
In the continuing support of their insanely heavy latest Metal Blade release - last year's "Bloody Pit of Horror", GWAR is set to hit the road starting October 18th, along with Every Time I Die and either GHOUL or Warbeast (depending on where in the country you are), for a six-week tour of major GWAR strongholds.
"Ever since we acquired a Skumship (GWAR's intergalactic war-barge), we have had to spend more time off-planet, you know, killing stuff, so we couldn't visit as many shit-hole clubs as we would normally. That means all you GWAR bohabs will have to show your devotion by driving endless miles in dangerous vehicles just so you can be ripped into shreds and have your girlfriend devoured by a giant worm." - Oderus Urungus
In other Slave-Pit news, GWAR has revealed that the brutal hazing ritual required of any new member is finally over, and that they are pleased to announce that Louisville musician Jamison Land (member of the Louisville punk band The Burial) has landed the coveted spot of personal man-servant to GWAR bass player Beefcake the Mighty. This is what Land had to say about this.
"I'm ecstatic to be a part of GWAR, it is a dream come true. My first GWAR show was in 1994 at the age of 15. At 18 I worked in a club in Louisville, KY, and I got to make GWAR's deli-tray. I was so proud. I feel a bit sore... the initiation is brutal. I probably won't be able to sit down for a week!"

On Saturday, September 17th, a legion of headbangers took over Hadad's Water Park in Richmond, Virginia, for the 2011 GWAR B-Q: one of the wildest parties of the summer. The event featured two full stages of Rock, and it was headlined by the mighty GWAR. This was no ordinary GWAR set (if such a thing could exist...) as original GWAR bass player Mike Bishop (the first Beefcake the Mighty) joined the band for a very special set of songs from the "Scumdogs" era, this special set was followed by the latest incarnation of the universes most dangerous band, who took center stage and GWARified the crowd!
If you weren't there you missed a hell of a time, but luckily enough for you Bohabs, G4's "Attack of the Show" was there to document it all. Host Candace Bailey was there to check out all the bands, spend some quality time with her lords and masters GWAR and even got fed to The World Maggot.
The segment featuring the GWAR-B-Q airs tonight on G4TV at 7:00 PM Eastern (4:00 PM Pacific). The episode will be repeated throughout the week and starting on Wednesday October 5th the segment will be available for viewing of at the"Attack of the Show" website.
"Candace Bailey had on the tightest pair of jeans I had ever seen. It looked like they had dipped her halfway into a bucket of blue ink, and it outlined her camel-toe perfectly." - Oderus Urungus
