GWAR To Lay Waste on "The Age of Entitlement" Tour With Brujeria, BRAT, and The Native Howl. More Tour Dates Announced!

Shock Rock gods GWAR are set to continue their "The Age of Entitlement" tour in support of their latest album 'New Dark Ages,' followed by "The Stoned Age" tour later this year.

The next leg of "The Age of Entitlement" tour kicks off on September 12th in Buffalo, New York, and concludes on September 20th in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This run features a powerful lineup including Latin American death grinders Brujeria, NOLA grindcore face-melters BRAT, and The Native Howl.

GWAR vocalist Blóthar the Berserker commented on "The Age of Entitlement" tour:

"This is an incredible time in the history of the world, so much death and destruction in the face of so much senseless entitlement and arrogant darkness. We cannot wait to shock some sense into humanity with the most outrageous performance of heavy metal theater ever to descend from the gods."

Following the conclusion of "The Age of Entitlement" tour, GWAR will embark on "The Stoned Age" tour this fall. This tour begins on October 17th in Las Vegas, NV at House of Blues and wraps up on November 20th in Nashville, TN at the Brooklyn Bowl. Support for this run includes Black Metal royalty Dark Funeral and hardcore noise machine Squid Pisser, with Cancer Bats joining for select dates.

Regarding "The Stoned Age" tour, Blóthar added:

"Get ready to mumble!!! On this tour we will CHRONIC-le the embarrassing loser takes all choice between a neurodivergent fascist and a desiccated mummy to be the leader of the free world. What could possibly go wrong?"

In other GWAR news, the Intergalactic Scumdog Warriors also recently announced the re-issue of their landmark masterpiece album, 'Hell-O!,' with 2024 being its 36th anniversary. The new release will be blood-spattered clear vinyl and includes expanded artwork featuring never-before-seen photos from the time, including the original album release show in Richmond.

'Hell-O! (36th Anniversary Edition)' will be available in physical form only with limited runs of both CD and Vinyl. It is due out September 13th on the band’s own label: Pit Records.

To help celebrate this momentous release, the iconic heavy metal collective is also reprinting the "GWAR Must Die" t-shirts made oh-so-famous back in their original pillaging days by human rabble everywhere. Get yours HERE!

As some of you may know, the current lead singer of the band, Blóthar the Berserker, once inhabited the earthly form of GWAR’s original bass player, Beefcake the Mighty. We asked Blóthar for his feelings on this momentous occasion:

“It was the 80’s. I was so young and scared. I will always remember wandering around the seedy sex arcades of Times Square, pants around my ankles, tears in my eyes…little did I know, I was working on the most important record in the history of shock rock. We were polishing a turd for the ages…we wanted to call it 'Beat the Meatles,' but the record company said no…and 'Hell-O' was born.”
