Celebrating their 25th year of invading Earth, Dave Brockie and his associates that comprise the mighty
Gwar continue to churn out comedically-driven theatrical heavy metal on their latest 11-track endeavor
BLOODY PIT OF HORROR. Championing their novelty status to the hilt while producing salacious slabs
of explosive metal in the process (“Storm is Coming”), Gwar may be best known for their outlandish look
and circus-like live show, but their music has seen a significant upgrade in the last few years. Locking in
with a hammering thrash metal precision, the musicians underneath the costumes have stepped up their
game considerably in the last few releases, and retain the same spirit here with a barrage of tasty double
barrel riffs (“A Gathering of Ghouls”) and a punkish metal charm (“Beat You to Death) firmly planted
within the band’s outrageous framework. Gwar has morphed into a band with both nasty effects and nasty
riffs fueling their intergalactic chaotic chicanery.
