And today, GWAR has confirmed the first batch of bands slated to play their annual orgy of blood, music, and meat.

Everything has to start somewhere, and this fact is no different for our metal heroes. Over that past few years I have been asking some of my favorite artists the question “What was your first band called and what did it sound like?” and here are their answers. Oderus Urungus of GWAR Oh, my first [...]

It’s been known that GWAR has been working on a new album, the first to feature new scumdog Pustulus Maximus. And while a release date nor title has still not been set in stone, Oderus Urungus confirms that fans will get to hear GWAR play not one, but THREE new songs during the Fate Of [...]

In his book Too Fat to Fish, comedian, former Howard Stern sidekick and sportscaster Artie Lange tells an amazing story about going to buy coke in the middle of a Mad TV taping while in a full pig costume. You’d think that after (hopefully) kicking drugs for good and being a radio show host instead of an [...]

Remember when Oderus Urungus made an appearance on Dan Patrick’s syndicated program, The Dan Patrick Show? Well apparently the GWAR frontman and the former ESPN personality hit it off. That’s because the show recently premiered a snippet of the theme song GWAR recorded for their “Wheel Of Punishment” segment. It’s not clear whether the song [...]

It’s been over a week since Ministry and Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia passed away. And the metal community continues to mourn the loss of a truly talented guitarist, including a few of Scaccia’s well-known friends.

If a Canadian metal band covering the Beastie Boys classic “Sabotage” isn’t weird enough, then maybe Oderus Urungus joining the band onstage to perform it with them is. Cancer Bats are no strangers to the song, having recorded it before and released a video. But they’d never performed it with Oderus, whose band GWAR they’re [...]

It doesn’t take much arm pulling to make us watch video of GWAR trick-or-treating. However, the fact that Fuse sent Oderus Urungus, Beefcake The Mighty and new scumdog Pustulus Maximus to the suburbs of New Jersey for some pre-Halloween trick-or-treating is icing on this horrid cake. And needless to say, the segment produces many laugh-out-loud [...]

GWAR covers Kansas It seems like only yesterday that GWAR unveiled their latest guitarist, Pustulus Maximus. That’s probably because it was then that the scumdogs of the universe first showed the world the replacement for Flattus Maximus. Thanks to the awesome AV Club feature “Undercover,” we finally have a chance to see him in action. [...]
