GWAR ANNOUNCES "RETURN OF THE WORLD MAGGOT" FALL TOUR

After successfully decimating Europe this Summer with multiple festival appearances and headlining shows, your lords and masters the almighty GWAR have awoken from their arctic slumber to once again create utter devastation in North America this Fall. The tour kicks off October 18th at in Charlotte, NC and will cross North America wrapping up November 27th in New Haven, CT. Providing direct support on the tour will be Buffalo New York's Every Time I Die. Ghoul will open the first half of the tour and Warbeast will be opening the second half. A complete list of tour dates is listed below.

Momentarily putting down his crack pipe, the warty front thing and mutant overlord Oderus Urungus spoke about the carnage that is sure to ensue when GWAR tours North America:

"Once again we blow the mighty horn of war, and summon the most fanatical fans in metal history to pay homage to their brutal overlords, us. Between holding Crack-a-Thon's, having GWAR-B-Q's, you might think that your Lords and Masters had forgotten about you...but you won't get off that easy! GWAR is returning to personally slap the teeth out of your collective mouths, and have a great time while doing it!"
