Rating: 5 out of 5 Well worth it by Dan on 6/20/22 Reverb - Reading.The Native Howl, Nekrogoblikon and Goatwhore were an incredible lead-in to GWAR. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to experience these guys in person.Īll 4 bands were excellent at this particular show. I miss the hell out of Brockie (Oderus Urungus), but Blothar and the rest of the gang are keeping the spirit of GWAR alive and well. GWAR continues to put on fantastically entertaining shows.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Space Warriors Kill It Onstage! by Brendan H.The comedy and props and death and blood on stage and blood all over myself. Rating: 5 out of 5 Worth every penny by Gregimus on 10/7/22 Knitting Factory Concert House - Spokane - Spokaneįirst time seeing them in concert.Theatrics were well balanced new album cut is sick. What a festival of blood, theatrics, and crisply played thrash metal. "If you like metal and have a sick sense of humor, go see them. The pageantry was definitely funny and fun. "Gwar rocked, it was fun, the crowd was definitely into it. In a show of tremendous fortitude and strength, the band announced several David Brockie memorial events and still plans to appear at select events throughout the year. Over the course of their career, GWAR have packed venues such as Irving Plaza (NYC), and the Depot (Salt Lake City). In early 2014, GWAR frontman David Brockie was found dead from unknown causes. Over the years, they've landed songs with titles like "Endless Apocalypse" and "War Is All We Know" on charts around the world, an impressive feat for a group of guys who claim the destruction of the human race as their primary goal. Their 1988 debut LP Hell-O was a huge hit in Germany, with subsequent albums like Carnival of Chaos (1997) and We Kill Everything (1999) enjoying considerable success in the US. Simultaneously embracing and poking fun at the genre's extremes, the band struck a chord with audiences looking to indulge in metal's excesses without taking them too seriously. Whether they're unleashing "The New Plague" or demanding that "Zombies, March!", GWAR put on a show like no other act on earth, and despite longtime frontman David Brockie's recent passing the ever-dedicated band still plans to treat fans to select shows in 2014.įormed in Virginia in 1984, GWAR developed an early following with their costumed, prop-filled, spectacle-heavy take on thrash metal. Taking the stage in gruesomely excellent costumes, the band executes their hilarious metal send-ups with a faux-macabre pageantry that approaches the divine, sacrificing celebrity effigies on stage and dousing entire audiences in fake blood. When it comes to gory thrash metal spectacle, no other band even comes close to the sick and twisted monstrosity that is GWAR.
