GWAR transmitted a special news dispatch regarding the unearthly group’s 40th anniversary and the news can be read here.
“WRETCHED EARTHLINGS, PREPARE TO BE ANNIHILATED! The infernal legions of GWAR will lay siege to the Earth in 2025 to mark 40 years of blood-soaked mayhem on this pathetic planet,” the transmission reads. “Prepare for the most brutal anniversary celebration imaginable as your alien overlords unleash a sonic firestorm of bone-crushing riffs and grotesque spectacle on this monstrous anniversary tour!”
The “Machines Vs. Monsters” joins GWAR with the industrial metal juggernaut that is Static-X to “crush skulls and melt faces across North America.” The tour kicks off this spring, “leaving a trail of destruction” from Albuquerque, NM (May 24th) to Oklahoma City, OK (June 18th). GWAR gets support from Dope and A Killer’s Confession.
Pre-sale tickets are available now for the GWAR faithful and the band sent out info on ticket packages in their own language:
