Prepare for a wild ride as GWAR teams up with horror legend Joe Bob Briggs for the twisted 'GWAR And The Last Drive-In-Stein' album, dropping this November.

In an unholy marriage of shock and horror, the intergalactic metal beasts known as GWAR have joined forces with the king of drive-in cinema, Joe Bob Briggs, for the upcoming album 'GWAR And The Last Drive-In-Stein'. Scheduled for release on November 13 via Pit Records, this record is a celebration of more than four decades of GWAR's relentless bloodshed and 40 years of Joe Bob's iconic presence on our screens.

As if that weren't enough to get your blood pumping, the first single, 'Splatter-Fu', penned by John Brennan, is already wreaking havoc across the airwaves alongside its gruesome official video. Mike "Blöthar The Berserker" Bishop, the formidable frontman of GWAR, mused on this momentous collaboration, exclaiming, "Lordy Lordy, look who's 40! GWAR and Joe Bob Briggs. A match made in hell!" His nostalgia for horror flicks and trash culture is palpable, reminiscing about the time he was just a calf when Joe Bob promised to make him a star.

Joe Bob himself chimed in, declaring that to capture the essence of Halloween, he summoned his Antarctic comrades—the Scumdogs of the Universe—to deliver a concoction of fear, filth, and fun. This album is not just a collection of tracks; it's a homage to the bizarre and beloved worlds they inhabit.

'GWAR And The Last Drive-In-Stein' features a killer lineup, with Side A hosting GWAR's electrifying live set from 'The Last Drive-In's' 2025 Halloween special, where they’ll unleash original tracks alongside covers that will send shivers down the spine of any fan. Meanwhile, Side B showcases the talents of JOHN BRENNAN AND THE BIGFEET, the house band for 'The Last Drive-In', pulling from their repertoire to create a true auditory experience for fans of the macabre.

The tracklist is a testament to their twisted creativity, including gems like 'Joe Bob Is Back In Town' and 'Fuck This Place'. For GWAR, this release marks yet another chapter in their saga of chaos and carnage, while for Joe Bob Briggs, it's a celebration of a career devoted to the magic of exploitation cinema.

With the 'Gor Gor Must Die!' tour looming on the horizon, featuring support from the likes of MIDNIGHT and MAC SABBATH, it’s clear that these shock icons are far from done. Brace yourselves for an album that promises to be as bizarre as it is brilliant, and a tour that will surely deliver the bloody goods!
