GWAR have been purveyors of intergalactic metal since 1985, but contrary to popular belief, the members of GWAR are actually humanoid begins in alien costumes. The costumes do come off, but it's not as easy as you think to secure a photo of various GWAR members uncovered.

Dave Brockie, better known to music fans as GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus, was the guest on Full Metal Jackie’s radio show this past weekend. The singer, making a rare appearance as himself, spoke about Gwar's 'Battle Maximus' effort, continuing without late guitarist Cory Smoot and more. If you missed Full Metal Jackie’s show, check out her full interview with Gwar's Dave Brockie:

When I began to watch this video, I was already cracking up because, I mean, LOOK at it. It's Oderus Urungus from GWAR getting ready to put your kids to bed with his special rendition of 'Goodnight Moon.'

GWAR are slowly becoming the masters of purposely covering songs that they hate. A year after the band were challenged to perform Kansas' 'Carry on Wayward Son,' GWAR once again travelled into music's past with a metal rendition of Billy Ocean's 'Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car.'

Earlier this month, we reported on a Change.org petition demanding that GWAR perform at the 2015 NFL Super Bowl halftime show. With nearly 40,000 signatures already attained, GWAR themselves have publicly endorsed the petition, urging human fans to keep the signatures coming.

Bestial overlords GWAR return with their latest slab of devastation, 'Battle Maximus.' Set to be released Sept. 17 via Metal Blade Records, it's the band's first album since the 2011 death of guitarist Cory Smoot, a/k/a Flattus Maximus. You can listen to the song 'Madness at the Core of Time' below.

It still doesn't seem real that Beastie Boys member Adam 'MCA' Yauch passed away earlier this year. As a part of one of modern music's most definitive group, the man was an innovator of the highest order. There has been countless tributes paid to MCA since his death, and the latest homage was delivered with style by GWAR front-thing Oderus Urungus and current tourmates Cancer Bats, as they came to

You wouldn’t necessarily know it from listening to songs like ‘The Insidious Soliloquy of Skulhed Face’ or ‘The Master Has a Butt,’ but the members of GWAR are apparently huge film buffs. Well, okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch — but that didn’t keep lead singer Oderus Urungus and rhythm guitarist Balsac the Jaws of Death from reviewing Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ recently.

The first posthumous recording by late GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot, a cover of Dayglo Abortions’ ‘Isn’t This Disgusting,’ is available now on iTunes and will be included on the upcoming Dayglo Abortions tribute compilation, which comes out next year.

A cause of death has been determinged for GWAR’s late guitarist Cory Smoot (a.k.a. Flattus Maximus). According to North Dakota coroner William Masselo, Smoot died from a coronary artery thrombosis caused by a pre-existing coronary artery disease. He was discovered dead on GWAR’s tour bus on Nov. 3 at the age of 34.
