The
biggest, sickest, most debauched party of the summer is just days away!
That's right, Slave Pit Inc and your Lords and Masters GWAR are
counting down the hours until the 4th Annual GWAR-B-Q. The
mighty GWAR will once again be headlining the event, and they will of
course feature songs from their new album Battle Maximus.
The event will be held Sat., Aug. 17th at Hadad's Water Park in
Richmond, VA. The event will be held RAIN OR SHINE. Nothing short of
nuclear holocaust can stop GWAR, and even that is highly debatable...the
GWAR B-Q is on, NO MATTER WHAT!!!
As a special treat for the human scum, Oderus Urungus has decided to give the bohabs another taste of what they can expect from Battle Maximus. GWAR has teamed up with VICE to drop the next tasty morsel from Battle Maximus on your pointy little heads. Head HERE,
to read an exclusive interview with Oderus and to hear the premiere of
the song "Bloodbath". Then get ready to be a part of the carnage this
Saturday at the GWAR-B-Q.
Although
he is deep in preparations trying to find enough "crackahol" (Oderus'
new favorite drug, a mixture of booze and crack) to get through the
weekend, Oderus would never pass up a chance to rant about a new song
and the GWAR-B-Q:
"Bloodbath
is a catchy little ditty straight from Scumdog City, with a sound
reminiscent of past GWAR thrash-ter-pieces like Jack the World or Happy
Death Day, yet completely different. It also features a ripping lead
from new Scumdog Pustulus Maximus that is sure to melt your
eardrums...lyrically it is a rumination on the inevitability of death
for you mortals, and how you should not fear this...for death at the
hands of GWAR is the most liberating experience you can ever have,
especially in our Meat Grinder!"
And
for those of you that don't read press releases or pay attention, do it
NOW. All details that you need about tickets for the event can be

As

Deluxe
ticket sales have ended, but official GWAR-B-Q 2013 t-shirts will be
available for purchase at the event. There will also be raffle tickets
available at the merch booth with your chance to win any number of a
host of valuable prizes. (See Below) There will be no weapons, pets,
video cameras or glass allowed anywhere within Hadads, and backpacks and
coolers will be checked by Hadad's security at the gate. Remember GWAR
fans, we are guests at Hadads, and if we want to continue this fine
tradition we must respects the perfectly reasonable requests of our
host...plus GWAR commands it!
No
effort has been spared to make this the most spectacular GWAR B-Q yet,
and this year that includes providing the faithful GWAR fans with a
skate park truly worthy of a GWAR B-Q. A legion of slaves has been
laboring ceaselessly to create it, and their efforts are a complete GO,
featuring a half-pipe, ¼ pipes, a fun box (whatever the hell that is),
grind rails, and finally a bike launch ramp, supplied by FBM Bike Co.
These are all open to the public so bring your skate, bike, or
rocket-sled.
Of
course the memory of GWAR's departed Scumdog brother, Flattus Maximus,
will always be with us, and many flagons of GWAR BEER (brewed especially
for the GWAR B-Q by Tampa's Cigar City Brewery) will be hoisted to
honor his legend. There will be a special "Flattus Shrine" booth set up
full of Smoot shirts and music, and all proceeds garnered here will go
straight to the Smoot Family Fund.
Bus shuttles will be available for FREE from 2BNB, for pickup locations and schedules check out all the details HERE.
Finally car-pooling is highly encouraged as there is very limited
parking at the venue. This does not mean for you to drive your car into
the pool, it means you can get a free ride if you are too wasted. The
safety of our fans and other humans is of the highest priority for the
Slave-Pit, so your soul can be saved for GWAR to do with as they please.
Rain
or shine, its all systems GO for this years most debauched gathering of
the summer and the greatest GWAR-B-Q in history. See all of you
faithful bohabs there at Hadad's, Aug. 17th, 2013! HAIL FLATTUS, HAIL
THE BOHABS...AND HAIL GWAR!!!
GWARis set to release Battle Maximus
their 13th studio album, and their first since legendary Scumdog
Flattus Maximus returned to the stars to fulfill his cosmic destiny. The
album will be available September 17th via Metal Blade Records. Check out the first track, "Madness at the Core of Time" and pre-order your copy of Battle Maximus HERE.
GWAR's Battle Maximus
features twelve brand new tracks that not only honor their departed
ally, but tells the story of GWAR's latest struggle against what may be
their greatest enemy yet...the insidious "Mr. Perfect", who has
travelled through time itself to steal the power of GWAR--the power of
immortality, and use this power to mutate the human race into his
twisted vision of what the "perfect" human should be. Once again GWAR
finds themselves as the only thing standing between the human race and
the latest super-powered shithead bent on the destruction of GWAR and
the enslavement of their worshippers.
