Ton Of GWAR News!

Published

on

The surviving inhabitants of Planet Earth breathed a collective sigh of relief as the halfway point of GWAR’s two-year long victory lap came and went with only vague reports of minor atrocities being committed in the name of the Universe’s most dangerous band. Speaking with a megaphone from a lofty parapet on the GWAR fortress, instead of proclaiming some cosmic doom, lead throat-thing Oderus Urungus took the opportunity to announce the release date of the new GWAR album, “GWAR’s Bloody Pit of Horror” (out Nov. 9th on Metal Blade Records), and more of the cities slated for destruction on the “Bloody Tour of Horror”, which begins Oct. 2nd in Baltimore, Md.
 
In a remarkably redundant statement, Oderus was quoted as saying “I hereby announce the release date of the new GWAR album, “GWAR’s Bloody Pit of Horror”, out Nov. 9th on Metal Blade Records, and more of the cities slated for destruction on the “Bloody Tour of Horror”, which begins Oct. 2nd in Baltimore, Maryland.” 
 
The tour, their longest one yet, will take GWAR all over their usual stomping grounds in the U.S. and Canada, and will see the band travel across the Pacific to play their first shows in Australia and New Zealand as a part of the “No Sleep Til” tour.  Tickets are on sale starting today HERE.

“We’re tickled pink,” belched bellicose bass player Beefcake the Mighty, who then projectile-vomited a horde of fecal midgets onto a just-installed shag rug.
 
Fresh off a triumphant run of European festivals, the boys have returned to Antarctica to wrap-up preparations for the entirely new show, video, and general mayhem that will surround the much-anticipated follow-up to last year’s critically-acclaimed musical opus, “Lust in Space”. When pressed for details, Oderus, who inexplicably, was dressed in the decaying funeral suit of long-dead glam pianist Liberace, had this to say:
 
“This year sees no end to the torment, and delight, we shall heap upon you ungrateful slobs. Our new album has got some of the heaviest shit we have ever played, and our show is packed with brand-new, never-seen-before acts of violence, bestiality, and political in-correctness. I don’t want to spoil anything…wait,yes I do!  We are chopping Sarah Palin’s tits off and feeding them to Gor-Gor, if he will have them!”
 
So get ready to show your love for the hardest working band in rock and roll history, as they roll out a brand new album, tour and video, all coming at you this fall!
 
Also, later today, check out this clip of the 2010 GWAR-B-Que, exclusively at MetalInjection.net. The clip reportedly features the members of the world’s only GWAR tribute band, RAWG,playing GWAR’s classic hit, “Sick of You”.  Wait, they had a hit?
 
Hail metal! Hail GWAR!

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

John Carpenter music

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
