Gwar have expanded their North American tour plans with the addition of an autumn leg featuring support from Born Of Osiris and Battlecross.
The band celebrated their 30th anniversary this past weekend at the sixth Annual Gwar B-Q in their hometown of Richmond, Virginia. The three-day event featured performances from Coal Chamber, Fear Factory and the full lineup from The Summer Slaughter Tour – Arch Enemy, Born Of Osiris, Veil of Maya, The Acacia Strain, Cattle Decapitation and Beyond Creation.
Gwar will launch the 30 Years Of Total World Domination Tour on August 25 with guests Butcher Babies and Battlecross – which includes three Riot Fest shows – and now they’ve added an autumn run with Born Of Osiris and Battlecross. Canadian dates will see Cryptopsy in the lineup.
With newly-announced shows set to start October 7 in Cincinnati, guitarist Pustulus Maximus offers a preview of what fans can expect during the autumn run.
He says: “I have yet to grasp this concept of the internet and the spouting of self-important speeches by people in social media – the internet must die, so Gwar will kill it.
“Management tells me the internet is not a person that can be fought and killed, but they don’t know the true power of a Scumdog. We kill everything.”
Gwar Fan Club members can order tickets now and general sale will open on August 21 (Friday).
Gwar will soon release a career-spanning book Let There Be Gwar. The 350-page project will detail their history through first-hand accounts and previously unreleased photographs.
