"Shock Rock" Masters GWAR Coming To Fremont Country Club
30 years have passed since GWAR was awoken from the prison of their Antarctic slumber in 1985. In those three decades, they have shaped the music and culture of mankind using broadswords and guitars, carving the human race to more closely resemble their demented visage and psyche. The Scumdogs will celebrate their 30th anniversary (or as the Romans would call it, their XXX anniversary) by releasing a box set showcasing the musical and artistic genius of this misfit group of extraterrestrial mutants that world has come to love almost as much as they fear. GWAR is immortal and shows no signs of slowing its merciless onslaught of the planet Earth. They have reunited with an unstoppable force from their past in the form of the new singer, Blothar, a major contributor to such early GWAR masterpieces as “Hell-O,” “Scumdogs of the Universe,” “This Toilet Earth” and “We Kill Everything.”
