GWAR’s “AMERICA MUST BE DESTROYED” DELUXE EDITION  WITH “TOUR DE SCUM” AND “PHALLUS IN WONDERLAND” OUT NOW!

You might think that servicing the needs of GWAR in this, the midst of their 25^th Anniversary Tour would be a full-time job. And it is! But for the artists of Slave Pit Inc., the production company that created and maintains GWAR lust for all things rubber, a constant slew of side-projects is business as usual. This holiday season sees the artists behind the most notorious band in metal history involved in a bevy of extra-curricular delights.

Besides portraying GWAR’s bellicose lead singer Oderus Urungus, Dave Brockie is a painter, writer and avid snowboarder…and has just released his own signature snowboard! When old buddy, huge GWAR fan, and ex-pro rider Ron Bureta got his own company going, the long-held idea of a Brockie snowboard finally became a reality.

Says Bureta, “Since “HELL-O!” I have been a huge GWAR fan, scaring the jocks in high school by singing lyrics from “Slutman City” out loud. During my Pro Snowboarder days, I always wanted to do a GWAR graphic but my sponsors thought that it wouldn’t be cool. Now that I own my own company I’m doing things my way. Teaming up with Dave Brockie for this project is a dream come true for me and is the next best thing to becoming a GWAR Slave.”

Check it out at http://oderus.com/timewasters/sined/index.html

Brockie’s behind the scenes look at the birth of GWAR, “GWAR, Me, and the Onrushing Grip of Death” has reached its 13^th episode at http://rvanews.com/sections/columns/gwar

Meanwhile, Brockie continues to churn out collectible art pieces for private collections worldwide. Check out his work at http://oderus.com/timewasters/artmoney/index.html

But Brockie isn’t alone in his fanatical zeal to create art and somehow make a living off of it. His Slave-Pit confederates Bob Gorman and Matt Maguire also have their bloody little fingers in a multitude of pies.

GORMAN’S TROLLS AS FEATURED IN SPIN MAGAZINE

Bob Gorman is one of GWAR’s lead slaves and portrays GWAR’s hapless killing creates t-shirt designs and logos, custom illustration, and paintings. He also designs and fabricates custom props and costumes for GWAR and other clients and manufactures and sells concrete “Garden Trolls”, as featured in the Nov. 2009 issue of Spin magazine. Finally, he designs and fabricates full custom bicycles. He can be reached at bobgorman.com or gwarofficial@myspace.com

MATT MCGUIRE’S “FRIENDS” THINK “BLOOD IS YUMMY”.

Slave-Pit artist Matt Maguire is one of the main figures on the Slave-Pit shop floor and GWAR’s live show. This talented artist, who plays GWAR’s mixed up Scumdog cohort Sawborg-Destructo, also builds lots of the props and costumes for used by GWAR, also designs many of the shirts and other graphic elements of GWAR’s assault on humanity, and also serves as GWAR’s stage manager. Yet somehow he finds time to produce all kinds of collectible art. He does custom drawings, paintings, and tattoo designs, and creates limited runs of a host of bizarre creatures, including the “Blood is Yummy”, and “Friends” figures. Matt and Bob Gorman collaborate on the slave-trade.net site, and he can be reached through mattmaguire.com or at slavetrade.net for graphics, tattoos, and costumes one of a kind art, and fabrication work. He has a line of t- shirts, stickers and limited runs of latex “friends”, figures .and small blood is yummy guys coming soon on  slavetrade.net. Bob Gorman and I will also have limited prints soon.

In other GWAR news the Scumdogs have unleashed upon the unwitting populace of North America a special collection of classics from the GWARchives. America Must Be Destroyed, GWAR’s 1992 opus, can now be purchased in a special edition digipak that’s also crammed with a DVD that includes the seminal GWAR films Tour De Scum and Phallus In Wonderland. Never before have they all been available in one package for you to get your clammy human hands on!

ODERUS, BEEFCAKE AND BALSAC SERVE AS CELEBRITY JUDGES FOR THE 14th ANNUAL BURTON SNOWBOARD DOG-COSTUME CONTEST

2009 truly has been the year of GWAR. They released their 25th anniversary album Lust in Space on Metal Blade Records; they are currently on their 25th anniversary tour with Lamb of God and The Red Chord. ODERUS URUNGUS has become the “Interplanetary Correspondent” for Fox News Red Eye, and now ODERUS URUNGUS is featured in the latest issue of SPIN Magazine.

The feature in the November 2009 issue of SPIN Magazine takes place at the Slave Pit in Antarctica and it is entitled “In My Room”. GWAR’s warty front-thing takes an exuberant amount of pride in showing off his room and all of his unique possessions, including his dead dog “Pookie” who has been with him since the beginning as his lover and his pet.

Speaking of pets and more specifically dogs, ODERUS URUNGUS, BEEFCAKE THE MIGHTY and BALSAC THE JAWS OF DEATH served as celebrity judges in the 14th Annual Burton Snowboard Pet Costume Contest on October 27th in Burlington, VT.

"GWAR loves animals and underprivileged children, usually cooked, sometimes raw..." - Oderus Urungus

Unphased by success, GWAR continues on their course as “the people’s band”. Band members ODERUS URUNGUS, BEEFCAKE THE MIGHTY, and BALSAC THE JAWS OF DEATH are seen above judging the 14th Annual Burton Dog-Costume Show. The event is held every year to benefit CHILL, a charity group dedicated to giving underprivileged children a chance to try snowboarding and other winter sports.

Lust in Space

Oderus stated:

“After weeks of scrutiny, the fools…I mean the people at Fox News have decided to give me more airtime. This marks yet another step in the transformation of Oderus from lead singer to leading man-thing. I won’t stop until my career eclipses that of Carrot-top, who will be forced to eat his own genitals in a desperate attempt at publicity. The humans need programs like “The GWAR Show”, or “GWAR TV” or even “Everybody Loves Oderus”. Considering we are GWAR, we are the perfect choice to play ourselves!”

“My boyfriend is in the Marines and was sent to Iraq. Shortly afterwards I got pregnant by another man. I don’t want to lose him, so should I tell him that it’s his child and just pretend it’s his?

Anonymous

Oderus: Absolutely not. That is the worst, stupidest idea I’ve ever heard. The truth will out, as they say. The guilt will always be there and he might also notice the fact that the child looks nothing like him whatsoever. What I would do is abort the fetus and send it to him. He could tie it to his helmet or something like some kind of war trophy.”

The new version of Halloween, directed by Rob Zombie has been airing trailers on television. It looks o.k. from the previews but there are just some classics that should be left as they are. You don’t see movie makers remaking Casablanca do you?

New Kerry King video interview available from YouTube can be viewed at Blabbermouth.net

Iron Maiden’s, Bruce DickinsonAmazon.co.uk

Madball and Sick Of It All of the NYC Hardcore scene will be touring together beginning this fall. I would love to see this!!

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine says he has a lot of announcements coming in the next week of which details of a Megadeth box set will be unveiled.

Gwar’s front man, Oderus Urungus calls Lordi a Gwar tribute band in a recent interview…frankly that’s what I thought of when I first saw them too.

Rob Cavestany the guitarist of Death Angel has been working on a solo album with a September 4 release date.

Over 200 people were arrested in Iran for attending a “satanic” rock concert. Read more here (Reuters).

Gwar frontman, Oderus Urungus has signed a six month deal with anarchymusic.net to do a series of advice columns. It’s kinda like asking Henry Rollins for acting lessons. Anyway you can read the first part of the series here (Dear Oderus). Here is just one of the letters:

I’ve tried for 9 years to get along with my stepson. He’s now 15 years old and he is mean, he lies and getting him to do chores is impossible. I can’t stand him and it’s had a huge impact on my relationship with my husband. Should I wait it out and hope that he moves out when he turns 18 or what?

NucknFuts

Oderus: Well, you have many choices, but I would say that you could wait it out. In another couple of years the kid’s going to be out of the house anyway and you can enjoy your relationship with your husband. Or, you can take an ax and bury it in the child’s forehead, bury him in the backyard in a shallow grave and basically use him as fertilizer in the garden. So either wait three years or kill him right now.
