GWAR

Gwar have survived numerous personel changes over the years, something easier for this band than most as the characters never change only those playing them. Despite a decline in media attention, Gwar have proven to be a consistent live act and with each new stage act they have recorded a new album. Unlike most career bands though, Gwar have released almost as many full-length videos as they have albums. Along with the previously mentioned Phallus in Wonderland they have also assaulted the eyes with Skulhed Face (1994), Rendezvous with Ragnarok (1997), Dawn of the Day of the Night of the Penguin (1998) and Its Sleazy (2001). Musically, Gwars early gem Scumdogs of the Universe (1990) is considered to be one of their most entertaining. Their subsequent albums, including This Toilet Earth (1993) and We Kill Everything (1999), have repeated many of the shock themes that gained them notoriety early on. After a few Gwar-less years, the band returned in 2004 on a new label, DRT Entertainment, with a new album War Party. The following year Live at Fuji was released. The band returned to the studio in 2006 for Beyond Hell.
