Richmond, Virginia based metal legends GWAR have announced a fall 2014 NORTH AMERICAN tour with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, DECAPITATED and AMERICAN SHARKS. 
"BEEFCAKE THE MIGHTY" (AKA MICHAEL BISHOP ) will be on vocals for GWAR. 





GWAR main man DAVE BROCKIE's (AKA ODERUS URUNGUS) was being investigated by Richmond, Virginia police as drug related. DAVE BROCKIE (AKA: ODERUS URUNGUS) vocalist of  GWAR was found DEAD Sunday 3/23/2014 at 50.


 Dave Brockie (GWAR vocalist) CAUSE OF DEATH, MARCH 2014: ACCIDENTAL HEROIN OVERDOSE (acute heroin toxicity). Many asking whom will fill in for late GWAR vocalist frontman DAVE BROCKIE? Will GWAR continue on after DAVE BROCKIE's DEATH?                                                                                                                                        










GWAR guitarist CORY SMOOT (FLATTUS MAXIMUS) passed away on the band's tour bus in 2011.







 GWAR have been an active band since the late 80's, as the band concept was started by Virginia University college art students.

GWAR unleashed "BATTLE MAXIMUS"  9/17/2013 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY unleashed "IX" 7/1/2014 via CANDLELIGHT RECORDS. 

DECAPITATED are set to release "Blood Mantra", due to be unleashed 9/26/2014 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. 


FROM GWAR:

Oderus is missing. Once the Scumdogs in GWAR finally notice this (it takes them a while to notice stuff) they will set off on a journey to find their departed brother using every resource available - including recruiting an ancient Scumdog warrior. GWAR will need the help from everyone, even the lowliest Bohab, as their enemies are plotting to take advantage of the hole in GWAR's ranks.

BalSac The Jaws of Death on The “GWAR Eternal Tour 2014” and what to expect:

“Dark clouds of war and ill omen have gathered around GWAR. In our hour of greatest peril, Oderus has left us and our enemies stand poised, ready to strike while they sense weakness. But we shall no longer cower in our Antarctic stronghold, awaiting Destiny's final blow. This Fall GWAR sets out on the most trying quest of our career. We shall scour our leader's favorite stomping ground, North America, leaving no city unsearched, no venue unraised, and no sheep unmolested. GWAR will venture to the depths of Hell or to the very end of Time itself, and though I fear what we may encounter out there, I know that we can never return home until we have the answer we seek: ‘Where is Oderus Urungus?’”

GWAR fans have been mourning the loss of Dave Brockie, GWAR's founder and lead singer, since March. The “GWAR Eternal Tour 2014” gives them an opportunity to gather and share a bunch of feels as a community while experiencing the sickest band in this or any other world.

Jamison Land, Beefcake the Mighty's personal slave and bass tech:

“Dave was our friend and anchor for as far back as anyone can remember. He’s held us together, and sometimes he drove us apart. He is our brother and we love him. Unlike a lot of prominent musicians, he was friends with all of the fans. He made GWAR fans feel special on a personal level. The fans love Dave as much as we do and ‘The GWAR Eternal Tour 2014’ is our way of getting together and sharing that love.”

The first leg of the tour will include direct support from Decapitated; the second leg will have direct support from Corrosion of Conformity. American Sharks will open all shows. The tour kicks off October 15th in Norfolk, VA and runs through December 13th in Baltimore, MD. A complete list of dates can be found below. Tickets go on sale this weekend.

Hail Oderus! Hail GWAR!

FROM  DECAPITATED: 

We're going back to the U.S.!

Returning to the U.S. in support of their sixth studio album Blood Mantra (due out in North America on September 30th), Polish technical death metallers DECAPITATED are direct support to Earth’s only openly extraterrestrial rock band GWAR on the first leg of the “GWAR Eternal Tour 2014,” launching on October 15th in Norfolk, Virginia and ending in Seattle on November 12th. Opening will be Texan trio American Sharks.

DECAPITATED guitarist & songwriter Wacek "Vogg" Kiełtyka shares the following:

“This tour with GWAR and American Sharks will be a great party for sure!!! We will play songs from the new album Blood Mantra together with old classics. DO NOT MISS THIS!!!”
