Don't know if this really is the right section to put them in but to me GWAR has always been a Heavy Metal band.

Quote :: Formed in 1985-1986 by a group of artists and musicians at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. The band is perhaps best known for their elaborate sci-fi/horror film inspired costumes, raunchy lyrics, and graphic stage performances, which can consist of scatology, sadomasochism, necrophilia, paedo-necrophilia, beastio-necrophilia, fire dancing, fake pagan rituals, mock executions/mutilations, and other controversial violent and political themes. GWAR was, for a long time, on the leading edge of shock rock, going as far as appearing on Jerry Springer in character and in full costume during the mid 1990’s.

So, any listeners? These guys started way before Lordi, so no need to argue about that.

I think GWAR are pretty cool. Huge fan of the first few albums, especially scumdogs. I think a lot of their later material started to decline in quality, but there's even some stuff there that's pretty good.

Love GWAR, especially the new stuff. War Party is one of the only albums where I love every single song.

Costumes.

I actually never listened to Gwar but a friend of mine recced. their new album Lust In Space to me. He said it's their best yet. Very Thrashy. It's in my qeue for today.

Still haven't listened much to this band...but it was tragic that Cory Smoot (Flattus Maximus) passed away recently. RIP!
