Infamous for their freakish costumery, violent scatological humor, and a barbarous intergalactic backstory, shock-rocking thrash-metal outfit GWAR originated in Richmond, VA, in 1984 and lost their final founding member in 2014. No atrocity is too outlandish for this rotating cast of tongue-in-cheek transgressors, whose music outrages the easily offended while delighting connoisseurs of hard-rocking horror-movie thrills.
