GWARhas left a path of death and destruction in its wake for decades, all while performing some of the best (and bloodiest) songs in metal. (Literally. Go to a GWAR concert and try NOT to come out covered in blood, bile, and other bodily fluids that spurt from the people they mutilate onstage during their show.) But what the casual onlooker might not realize: GWAR wouldn't have lasted for 40 years if there weren't some serious musical chops behind the foam latex costumes, giant weapons and dismembered body parts.
