It's only been a few days since the passing of GWAR frontman Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus) and the entire metal world is still in mourning. Many heartfelt tributes have been extended by musicians and fans, but nothing has been said by GWAR's camp. However, GWAR have just released their first official statement commenting on Brockie's death.
Yesterday evening (March 23), GWAR frontman Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus) passed away at the age of 50. We've been mourning the loss of a true original, as have many of rock and metal's finest artists.
GWAR have been purveyors of intergalactic metal since 1985, but contrary to popular belief, the members of GWAR are actually humanoid begins in alien costumes. The costumes do come off, but it's not as easy as you think to secure a photo of various GWAR members uncovered.
Bestial overlords GWAR return with their latest slab of devastation, 'Battle Maximus.' Set to be released Sept. 17 via Metal Blade Records, it's the band's first album since the 2011 death of guitarist Cory Smoot, a/k/a Flattus Maximus. You can listen to the song 'Madness at the Core of Time' below.
Evil alien overlords GWAR have just announced dates for a North American killing spree. The legendary metal mongers will take Whitechapel, Iron Reagan and A Band of Orcs with them.
Intergalactic metal mongers GWAR are holding a mouthwatering event to kick off the latest leg of their 'Fate or Chaos' tour. Along with celebrating the great mass of death the act are certain to spread, GWAR will also use their 'Meat and Meet' to premiere their 'GWAR-B-Q' sauce, concocted by the hands of guitarist Balsac, the Jaws of Death.
Thanksgiving is the time when we get together with our families, stuff ourselves with good food and then sleep for a full day. Rock stars are no different. However, we'd like to pretend they carry their raucous on-stage antics into the dining room for the big feast.
Here's how we think KISS frontman Gene Simmons, Jackyl's Jesse James Dupree and more of your favorite rockers celebrate Thanksgiving.
GWAR has to be the most entertaining Metal band EVER! Whether they are torturing the drug riddled minds of stoners everywhere or covering Kansas, they never disappoint. This time the guys went out trick or treating and, yes, hilarity ensued. This is why GWAR will always have a spot in my heart
