Gwar
With only 4 more bands to go, it’s time to kick things up a gear with the always entertaining to watch GWAR! From the deepest reaches of space, this band is here to wreck havoc and are stopping off here at Bloodstock during their UK tour following the release of their latest album “The New Dark Ages”. Watching the stage be set up and seeing the front monitors being covered in plastic, you know that we’re in for a full on show from these guys so grab your ponchos and get ready!
Right from the get go, we get a decapitation of the President and blood spraying at the audience and the band are quick to get the audience involved clapping along with “Sick of You”. As the performance continues with a Redneck joining the band and some comedy before he also gets killed with Blood and guts now spilling over the stage and into the crowd, it’s clear an awful lot of time and energy goes into creating the bands stage shows. It really is an incredible sight to watch these guys perform as the comedy, performances and gore continue from start to finish but I have 2 thoughts:
I’m glad I’m not up close watching these guys or in a small club
And in this heat they must be roasting in those costumes!!

The Blood of Gods Mythos:
The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this barren and hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world… their story begins in the deepest reaches of outer space. Long ago, the beings who would become the rock band GWAR were part of an elite fighting force, the Scumdogs of the Universe. For eons, they served as thralls to a supreme being known only as the Master. But one by one, each future member of the band earned a glaring reputation for being an intergalactic fuck-up. And so, they were banished, sent away on a fool’s errand to conquer an insignificant shitball floating in a dark corner of the universe; the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR shaped the face of the globe, destroying and rebuilding the natural world, and giving rise to all of human history. Aliens to some, gods and demons to others, our erstwhile Scumdogs fucked apes to create the human race, and this fateful unplanned pregnancy would prove to be truly disastrous!
Their new album, “The Blood of Gods” is nothing less than a sacred text chronicling the rise of humanity against their makers, and the massive battle between GWAR and the forces of all that is uptight and wrong with the world. Along the way, the band challenges the sins of their great mistake, from politics, pollution, and organized religion,
to fast food, and factory farming. Humans are shown as what they are; a parasitical disease that must be eradicated before they suck the planet dry. Born of adversity, “The
Blood of Gods” is a sonic scar…a question asked and answered…Death cannot kill
GWAR. Nothing can. GWAR LIVES MOTHERFUCKERS!
