The Gauntlet Salute's MAGGOT TWAT

There are so many heavy metal band's out there struggling just so they can to make it.

There are so many heavy metal band's out there struggling just so they can to make it. I hear countless excuses stories from band's on why they can't play a show or sell an album anymore. On the other end of the lame excuse spectrum is Chicago's Maggot Twat. When faced with slim pickings for a drummer, they went out and made their own. Maggot Twat's live show drummer is not human, it is a puppet.

The band formed in 1998 by two brothers, Spam and Piz Manwhat. Following a Summer of recording their first album "Stuffed Album Orgy" in their mom's basement, the band never thought of touring. That was until three years later. But the boys didn't know what to do about the drummer issue as they recorded all the instruments themselves. Why should they split the millions of dollars in royalties they were sure to make by hiring a drummer. "We could never find a drummer" stated Piz. "It only seemed natural to have a fake drummer play fake drums." That was when Dick Pancakes was born.

Maggot Twat is getting ready to launch their third album called, “The Imp Of The Perverse”. This album will be yours to eat early spring.
