Born of adversity, “ The Blood of Gods” is a sonic scar…a question asked and answered… Death cannot kill GWAR. Humans are shown as what they are a parasitical disease that must be eradicated before they suck the planet dry. Along the way, the band challenges the sins of their great mistake, from politics, pollution, and organized religion, to fast food, and factory farming. Their new album, “ The Blood of Gods” is nothing less than a sacred text chronicling the rise of humanity against their makers, and the massive battle between GWAR and the forces of all that is uptight and wrong with the world. Aliens to some, gods and demons to others, our erstwhile Scumdogs fucked apes to create the human race, and this fateful unplanned pregnancy would prove to be truly disastrous! Once here, GWAR shaped the face of the globe, destroying and rebuilding the natural world, and giving rise to all of human history. And so, they were banished, sent away on a fool’s errand to conquer an insignificant shitball floating in a dark corner of the universe the planet Earth. But one by one, each future member of the band earned a glaring reputation for being an intergalactic fuck-up. For eons, they served as thralls to a supreme being known only as the Master.
Long ago, the beings who would become the rock band GWAR were part of an elite fighting force, the Scumdogs of the Universe. The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this barren and hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world… their story begins in the deepest reaches of outer space.
