The Return of Gor Gor features three brand-new GWAR songs mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, GodCity Studios) and four live tracks captured at The Masqueradein Atlanta, GA during GWAR’s 2024 tour, mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy.

Gor Gor has returned and has stories to share. Spoilers: it’s a little weird. Of course it is though, this is GWAR, and they’ve been delivering the weird and wonderful (amongst other less savoury words to describe them) for 40 years. Can you freaking believe it!? Love them or loathe them, no one can deny the impact this band has had and that’s not changing anytime soon.

Read our full review of the EP here.

We had the pleasure of speaking with lead vocalist Blöthar the Berserker about Gor Gor and his return. After all, how do you misplace a three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex? But that’s not all. We break down the EP, look at 40 years of GWAR, muse over the iconic band’s staying power, and so much more.
