What began as a joke in the late 1980s, has become a band with more longevity than anyone could have ever imagined. Gwar came about when a band called Death Piggy decided to create a fictitious band that would open for them at concerts. The fake band, originally called Gwaaarrrggjjllgh, was supposedly from Antarctica and dressed in creature costumes, sacrificing made-up animals. While the members of Death Piggy got a kick out of passing their fake band off as a real opening act, the joke was on them. Fans started coming to concerts just to see Gwaaarrrgghhllgh, and then leaving before Death Piggy went on. The band decided to phase out Death Piggy and commit to Gwar (the shortened name) full-time. They produced a number of EPs and albums, with their most popular album being Scumdogs of the Universe that was released in the early 90s. The album helped the band solidify their place in American heavy metal music and earn a record deal with Metal Blade Records. Today, the band continues to tour with their outrageous live shows, and create new music for their loyal fans!

Over the years, the band and the characters associated with it have become icons in the heavy metal world. Fans can't seem to get enough of the fictitious world that this unconventional band has created. They've been nominated for MTV awards and a host of other awards that have celebrated their quirkiness. With almost thirty years of producing envelope-pushing music and live performances, the band is still wowing crowds around the world, and gaining new fans. One of their most popular characters-Flattus Maximus-was retired in 2011 when guitarist Cory Smoot died suddenly. The band released their latest single, and last featuring Smoot in December of 2011 on the cover of the Dayglo Abortions song "Isn't This Disgusting." But despite tragedy, the band has been able to overcome numerous obstacles and bring their diehard fans the deliciously twisted live performances they buy tickets to see.
