About GWAR:
Blood. Spectacle. Mythology. Costumes. And more blood. Since forming in Richmond, Virginia in 1985, shock-metal legends GWAR have built an enduring legacy through over-the-top lyrics, mesmerizing live shows, and an intimate connection with their fans. Known for their barbaric interplanetary warrior costumes and chaotic, humor-filled performances, GWAR‘s visceral, blood-soaked concerts break physical barriers with their audience, creating a truly unforgettable experience. Their seminal 1990 album, Scumdogs of the Universe, catapulted them into the mainstream and remains a cornerstone of their career, receiving a deluxe reissue in 2020.
Beyond music, GWAR embodies a lifestyle with ventures into skateboards, coffee, CBD, beer, and whiskey. As they approach 40 years, with new music on the horizon, GWAR’s limitless creativity and sheer fun continue to keep fans coming back for more — along with a whole lot of fake blood.
