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!"
