The carnage kicks off March 19th in their adopted hometown of Richmond, VA, and rampages through April 29th, ending in Charlotte, NC. A complete list of dates is below. Armed with fresh atrocities, new victims, and the unstoppable might of Gor Gor himself, GWAR are promising their most crushing live spectacle yet.

Lead Vocalist The Berserker Blothar gives a preview of what fans can expect nightly:
“GWAR, Soulfly and King Parrot. This tour will be a ritual orgy of death, sex, violence and rock and fu**ing roll!! Let the severed heads rain, bouncing down the pyramid onto a heap of human skulls. Be there humans, or be left to suffer on this planet while we party in the stars”!
