What was it like bringing her into the GWAR fold to represent a character in the universe?īrent Purgason (Pustulus Maximus): Bringing Lizzy Hale on was great. PAN M 360: I know Pustulus, that you and Lizzy Hale are acquaintances having appeared on podcasts together. I don’t think there’s any mention of that character in the comics but it was fantastic working with Lizzy Hale (Halestorm) on that song. We harm everyone else, we don’t harm ourselves. Will the new characters from the album or comic, like The Cutter, make their way into the new live shows?īrent Purgason (Pustulus Maximus): I don’t think there are any plans for a character like The Cutter making it onto the stage, the idea for her was pretty broad -The Cutter represents taking self-harm and directing it to harm others, which is kind of what GWAR does. PAN M 360: Can you talk to us a bit about The Duoverse of Absurdity you’re facing off against vomitous incarnations of yourself.
It’s also going to highlight the companion piece The Duoverse of Absurdity, a graphic novel that goes with the new record. What can you tell us about this upcoming GWAR invasion and what can we mortals expect?īrent Purgason (Pustulus Maximus): This spring tour is a great tour and we are showcasing some songs off the new record, but this fall is when we’re going to debut an entirely brand new show, a new storyline encompassing all the themes and ideas touched on The New Dark Ages. PAN M 360: GWAR is currently embarked on “The Black Death Rager World Tour.” It’s a very busy time for GWAR to bring the bubonic plague to us mortals. Today’s GWAR has come into its own sound, our newest record The New Dark Ages, is a continuation of that, another record we were able to write together-this one really has no outside trauma. Once we were able to do The Blood of Gods, there was more freedom we were able to write that album as a band together. My initial idea was not to part from the Flattus Maximus style too much at first. I was able to contribute to tracks like: “I Bonesnapper ,” and “Madness at the core of time,” but for the most part, it was kind of there. PAN M 360: How has Pustulus Maximus guitar style evolved since hearing “The Horn of Hate,” and entering the ranks of GWAR in your debut with the band in Battle Maximus?īrent Purgason (Pustulus Maximus): Battle Maximus was another healing period for the band, when I had joined they had the majority of the material written. Speaking to PAN M 360, from their fortress in Antarctica, Pustulus Maximus tells us a bit about the new GWAR record, the companion graphic novel The Duoverse of Absurdity-the importance of fresh blood, and the regression of our species into a new dark age. The New Dark Ages is the second GWAR album after Brockie’s passing, and the third album with guitarist Pustulus Maximus writing and performing lead guitar duties. the album’s story involves GWAR, now lost in the Duoverse (“like the multiverse, but it’s a little shittier”), joining forces with a “murderous maven” known as The Cutter and fighting off living monuments and undead soldiers waging a New Civil War. The New Dark Ages, GWAR’s 15 th studio album and newest record could be the most diverse GWAR record to date. Returning to the killing fields, led by Blöthar the Berserker, 2017’s The Blood of Gods was an album that paid respect to the loss of Oderus and the struggles and triumphs that produced the new sound of the band.
GWAR has persevered through numerous deaths in their collective including singer Dave Brockie, (Oderus Urungus) – which left the group without any of its founding members.
