Additionally Beefcake the Mighty, has issued a brief « State Of The GWAR Union » address. Watch it here
Concerning the album: The Blood of Gods chronicles the rise of humanity against their makers, and the massive battle between GWAR and the forces of all that oppose them. Along the way, the band challenges the sins of humanity from politics, pollution, and organized religion, to fast food, and factory farming. Humans are shown as what they are; a parasitic disease that must be eradicated before they suck the planet dry!
GWAR LIVES MOTHERFUCKERS!
