Gwar just released their new album The New Dark Ages and you really need to check it out (which we already told you). It's a great mix of the band's classic humor and punk energy, though with a very generous helping of classic heavy metal influence. One song in particular you should hear is "The Cutter," which fuses all the aforementioned alongside a choral bit toward the middle performed by Halestorm vocalist Lzzy Hale. The chorus' vocal cadence also reminds me a lot of "Turbo Lover" by Judas Priest.
Grab a copy of The New Dark Ages here. Gwar is also in the midst of their tour with Goatwhore, The Native Howl, and Nekrogoblikon. Get those dates below.
