With GWAR’s 20th anniversary celebration of their 2006 opus Beyond Hell arriving this Friday, 25th September, the band are premiering the HD version of their “School’s Out” music video, a cover of the Alice Cooper classic. The newly remastered deluxe edition, available for the first time ever on vinyl via the band’s own Pit Records, is now completely sold out through the GWAR store.

Remastered by Paul Logus (Anthrax, Killswitch Engage), the anniversary edition breathes new life into one of the band’s most ambitious and theatrical releases. Alongside the remastered album, the release also includes a previously unreleased outro track recorded during the original Beyond Hell sessions that was left off the original release.

Watch the “School’s Out” video HERE.

Originally released in 2006, Beyond Hell marked a defining moment in GWAR’s legendary career. Produced by Devin Townsend, the album brought together two of metal’s most unique creative forces, with Townsend helping shape one of the band’s most ambitious and beloved releases.

“I had been a GWAR fan since I was a kid. I loved the freedom, the metal, the spectacle, and the passion that went into it all,” recalls Townsend. “I met Brockie on a tour we did together and, after cornering him in an elevator basically telling him I’d work for free, I found myself co-producing Beyond Hell. Dave and Corey came to Vancouver to stay with me, and we recorded at Profile Studios. The drums and basic tracks were done at Slave Pit in Richmond, Virginia, and the whole process took about three months.”

He continues, “GWAR were, and are, an amazing combination of artistic freedom, absurdity, and hard work bundled up with metal and performance. Loved them then, love them now.”

Chronicling the band’s descent into Hell to rescue their long-lost comrade Flattus Maximus, Beyond Hell remains one of GWAR’s defining releases, featuring fan favourites including “Back in Crack,” “Womb With a View,” “Tormentor,” and “The Ultimate Bohab.”

Twenty years later, Beyond Hell is ready to rise once again, louder, heavier, and more gloriously blasphemous than ever before.

The first ever vinyl pressing of Beyond Hell arrives on 180-gram vinyl housed in an elaborate tri-fold jacket that unfolds into an inverted cross. The CD edition also receives the deluxe treatment, featuring a fold-out poster.

The standard Gold vinyl edition will be limited to 2,000 copies. Fans looking for something even more exclusive can pick up the “Blood Moon” vinyl variant, limited to just 300 copies, exclusively at GWAR.net, while Metal Injection will offer an exclusive “Blood Smear” vinyl variant, limited to only 200 copies.

Earlier this month GWAR and Digital Dreams Entertainment Inc. announced Mutant Football League 2: Antarctica Scumdogs, a brand-new DLC pack starring the boundary-breaking metal band launching for PlayStation 5, Steam, and Xbox Series X|S in October 2026 in their first major video game appearance in more than 30 years.

GWAR tore a new cosmic wormhole in the fabric of space and spilled out into the Mutant Football League 2 universe, where sport is almost as violent as they are — where players are mutilated, referees can be murdered, cheating is encouraged, and sometimes the best defense is simply killing the other team.

If you think you know football, you’ve got another thing coming. MFL 2 isn’t your typical game of “Toss The Pigskin”. It’s a bloodsport of the most brutal kind, where the refs expect dirty play, and a screw-up might just cost you your life. The stadium might kill you, too. It just depends where you’re standing when the spikes come out, and the lava starts flowing.

It’s the perfect nightmare playground for GWAR, and a crossover MFL 2 players have been begging for. Antarctica Scumdogs is the band’s first video game appearance in more than 30 years, and the only time you can be GWAR. The band’s MFL 2 team includes:

• Blöthar the Berserker
• BälSäc the Jaws ‘O Death
• JiZMak Da Gusha
• Grodius Maximus
• Beefcake the Mighty
• Sawborg Destructo
• Bonesnapper

It wouldn’t be a GWAR show without a killer venue, of course, and Antarctica Scumdogs provides, with a brand-new, spectacular stadium steeped in the GWAR mythos and a lot of other things propriety forbids us from mentioning in a press release. The band can’t wait to soak you in it. Find out more here: https://www.mutantfootballleague.com/.
