Unlike most career bands, however, GWAR have released almost as many full-length videos as they have albums. Along with Phallus in Wonderland , the group assaulted the eyes with Skulhed Face , Rendezvous with Ragnarok , Dawn of the Day of the Night of the Penguin , It's Sleazy , and a slew of subsequent films. Musically, GWAR 's early gem Scumdogs of the Universe is considered to be one of the band's most entertaining works.
The concert recording Live from Mt. In , after celebrating their 25th year and re-signing to Metal Blade, GWAR took a similar conceptual approach and left Earth's surface again to battle their enemy Cardinal Sin in space on Lust in Space. In , however, Urungus died at the age of 50 from a heroin overdose, leaving the band without any of its foundingmemberss. In , the group reconvened with original bassist Michael Bishop behind the mike --portrayingg a new character called "Blothar the Beserker" -- and released their 14th full-length outing, The Blood of Gods.

Oderus Urungus — The glue that held Gwar together. It was the best of times when Oderus and his cuttlefish loincloth took the stage and shredded the conceptions of rock n roll doubt. And was his departure date when David Brockie was found dead of a heroin overdose. It was a sad day for Gwar and the human species when we lost him.
Pustulus Maximus — A newcomer to the galactic scene, Pustulus is the cousin of Scumdog Flattus and a believer in the world of Gwar. Smoot was the last member to play Flattus and left this earth in , retiring the character with it.
Sleazy P. Martini — A caricature of the vegas lounge crooner, Sleazy P. Martini is known in the Gwar mythos as the one who released the band from their imprisonment. While his role was played by a few touring musicians his legacy will continue to inspire GWARheads around the world. Bonesnapper — A cave troll that has too much time and not enough manners. He lives on Scumdog slave planet and commands a slave ship.
Slymenstra Hymen — The artsy one of Gwar, Slymenstra was known as a fire dancer and one of the only females involved in the collective. Her background singing added a new element that was important to the band.
Her eccentric attitude and lively persona take Gwar to a whole new level. Gwar lost a shining star three years ago when Oderus Urungus passed away. An official source of death has not yet been determined, foul play has not yet been suspected. The reason for death was finally uncovered, in the event you wanted gritty specifics about his passing. Humans suck for all sorts of explanations.
He was capable of fantastic empathy and had a true awareness of justice. None of the Gwar characters come close to matching his love for life or music.

Gwar , often stylized as GWAR , is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia in , composed of and operated by a frequently rotating line-up of musicians, artists and filmmakers collectively known as "Slave Pit Inc".
The band's thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate sci-fi mythology which portrays the band members as a gang of barbaric alien warriors with a hedonistic lust for sex, drugs, violence, and heavy metal. Members of GWAR dress in elaborate and grotesque costumes on stage, and bring out other costumed characters usually famous celebrities and political figures whom they fight and murder during each song, usually resulting in the audience getting sprayed with copious amounts of fake blood, urine, semen, and other bodily fluids.
The band's origins were originally two projects merged into one- the founder and former lead singer, David Brockie, was originally the vocalist and bassist for a punk rock band named "Death Piggy", and would put on mini-plays with cardboard props to go along with the music.
During one of their earlier performances, Brockie got the idea to open up Death Piggy's performance with a fake band named "Gwaaarrrgghhlllgh", depicted as a gang of barbarians from Antarctica who would play nonsense songs, beat each other up, and sacrifice fake animals. After a while, the band began to notice more people in the audience came for Gwaaarrrgghhlllgh but left immediately afterwards.
GWAR's story begins at the beginning of time when the Master, a giant planet sized mass of flesh, shat out the entire universe. After viewing his creation, he decided it needed wiping.
Thus, the Master created the Scumdogs of the Universe, an army of intergalactic pirates, warriors, and psychos who pledged allegiance to him, GWAR amongst them. Along with the Master's most loyal servant, Techno Destructo, GWAR and the Scumdogs of the Universe waged chaos across the universe, but GWAR invoked the Master's ire by blowing up the wrong planet Flarv Quarv 7, rather than Flarv Quarv 6 as they were instructed and when they began craving more power and decided to attempt to overthrow him.
