The almighty Gwar have announced plans to celebrate their 40th anniversary of Earthly inhabitance with the confirmation of their latest attack, The Return of Gor Gor.
The multimedia release is set for July 25th via Pit Records and features a collection of three new tracks, four live recordings and a new 32-page graphic novel from the team at Z2 Comics.
The release depicts the Gwar on a quest to reclaim their long-lost otherworldly pet Gor Gor, a three-ton T-Rex who mysteriously disappeared following the death of their former frontman, Oderus Urungus.
Blothar shared on The Return of Gor Gor, "The last time I saw Gor Gor he was just a wee fart dragon. He had crawled on the hood of my Kia Soul and was holding on for dear life while I drove to the store to buy Clamato. I bathed him in wiper fluid and used my wipers to knock him off my sweet ride. Next thing I know, he’s a 20-foot tall trans-species prostitute working a pickle park. Apparently, he’s all grown up and looking for revenge. This record chronicles his struggles as a young Dino-American trying to make his way in a cruel world."
Commencing the latest campaign, Gwar have release the first of three new studio entries featured on the album with "Lot Lizard". Resurrecting the band raucous theatric metal hybrid, the track is an ode to the band's early sound and their continued show of shred-heavy spectacle.
Blothar explained of the track, "'Lot Lizard' is a blistering return to GWAR as a punk metal powerhouse with a sense of humour. What could be more charming than a song about a crack-addicted, cross-dressing, dinosaur prostitute that shreds weiners at truck stop pickle parks? Nuttin honey. That’s what. The song rocks. Listen ya mooks…"
