Our Take

GWAR's latest album, "The Blood of Gods," is an audacious and bombastic display of the band's signature blend of heavy metal and comedy. Known for their over-the-top theatrics and outlandish costumes, GWAR have built a loyal following over the years with their unique brand of shock rock.

The album kicks off with the blistering track "War on GWAR," a rebellious anthem that sets the tone for what's to come. With its pounding drums and screeching guitars, this is classic GWAR at their best. Lead singer Oderus Urungus's vocals are as powerful as ever, commanding attention with his guttural growls and piercing screams.

Tracks like "Viking Death Machine" and "El Presidente" showcase the band's knack for blending political commentary with heavy riffs and infectious melodies. GWAR's tongue-in-cheek humour is in full force here, with lyrics that are equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking.

The album's standout track, "I'll Be Your Monster," is a thrashing anthem that will have you headbanging along in no time. With its catchy chorus and killer guitar solo, this is GWAR at their most infectious.

Overall, "The Blood of Gods" is a wild ride from start to finish. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the world of GWAR, this album is sure to leave you entertained and wanting more. So grab your alien weaponry and prepare for a heavy metal extravaganza like no other.

About the artist

Gwar

GWAR may appear to be a group of intergalactic barbarians hell-bent on destroying Earth with their outrageous stage antics and outlandish costumes, but don't be fooled by their otherworldly appearance - beneath the grotesque façade lies a band of musical virtuosos who have been rocking the metal scene for over three decades. Hailing from the planet Scumdogia, GWAR burst onto the music scene in the late 1980s with their unique blend of thrash metal, punk rock, and shock rock. Known for their over-the-top live shows that involve copious amounts of fake blood, gore, and elaborate costumes, GWAR have cultivated a loyal following of fans who flock to their concerts to witness the chaos unfold. Led by the enigmatic frontman Oderus Urungus (played by the late Dave Brockie), GWAR have released a string of critically acclaimed albums over the years, including "Scumdogs of the Universe" and "America Must Be Destroyed". Their tongue-in-cheek lyrics and satirical take on politics and pop culture have earned them a cult following and cemented their status as one of the most unique and enduring bands in the metal genre. Despite facing numerous lineup changes and personal tragedies over the years, GWAR have remained a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. With their larger-than-life personas and their unapologetically bombastic music, GWAR continue to push boundaries and defy expectations, proving that sometimes it takes a group of alien warriors to remind us all to not take ourselves too seriously.
