GWAR: POST NORTH AMERICAN TOUR UPDATE



Virginia, USA intergalactic metal warriors GWAR have issued a post tour update as the band have just wrapped up their fall 2011 North American tour (with EVERY TIME I DIE, WARBEAST and GHOUL) in tribute to deceased guitarist CORY SMOOT (AKA: Flattus Maximus) whom passed away during a border crossing on the bands tour bus. CORY SMOOT's cause of death is still unknown.
FROM GWAR: The bus dropped us off this morning. We have never come home without everybody and it's a bittersweet feeling. Thanks so much everybody for giving us the strength to carry on and finish this tour. It wasn't easy, but I have never been so proud of our fans and my colleagues. And for the band to step up like that after losing Cory...well, it's nothing short of amazing. A GWAR tour is not an easy thing to do under the best of circumstances, but it had to be done, and we did it. WE. You and us -- the GWAR family. We came together and helped each other through the darkest days in GWAR history...and made it...special love to Every Time I Die, Ghoul, and Warbeast for making all those drives, rocking all those houses, and being good company. Rest in peace Cory. Now, a good long nap....thanks again everybody, we love you!!!!

Don't worry, we'll be back to the mindless hatred soon enough Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
