ODERUS!!! How goes it big guy?

(belching and farting noises) Fuck off!

It’s good that you could take the time out of your sodomy and maiming to answer a few questions for us here at Black Angel Promotions.

What makes you so sure that I will? Oh I just did.

About 6 months ago GWAR unleashed a new album called “Beyond Hell” which kicks total ass, and if I may say so is a wake up call to metal bands today. It seems you and the other metallic warriors are getting heavier as time goes on. What are your general thoughts on the album?

It fucking rules! Unlike most bands GWAR gets better with age. And we are fucking old!

What did you carnivorous cosmic creatures do to prepare yourself for the recording process of the new album?

Skip practice and complain to management about the declining crack quality.

While we are on the subject of recording. How do you tend to go about writing the music? Is there a general formula or do you try something new with every song?

I slept throught the writing and pre-production and ad-libbed all of my lyric's on the first take.

There has apparently been a new DVD that came out called “Blood-bath and beyond”. I haven’t had the pleasure of watching this DVD as of yet, but have seen many of the other DVD’s. What goes into making a GWAR DVD? Is there much therapy at the end or any rehab (for crew, band or editors)?

I don't know, people point camera's at me, people ask me questions, get me to say things...the next thing I know is a movie has come out with me in it! I'm pretty fucking clueless about the process, really.

Speaking of videos, on the new album you covered the Alice Cooper tune “School’s Out” and also shot a video for that song. Do you have any other videos planned from the new album or any other covers for the future?

Yers, we just finished our second video from the album to the song "8th Lock". Very dark and scary, not goofy....should be out on Youtube soon!

This past fall was the annual GWAR Helloween tour. How did that go? Any good story’s come from all the insanity?

Same old bloody shit...fucked a beached whale in Maine...that was about the highlight...

So you’re about head to Europe again in March and annihilate everything and anyone that stand in your path. Do you have anything special planned for this?

Special "slalute to Hitler", with scale model death camps and burning babies.

Now I’m from Ohio and am just damned curious when you are going to be gracing us with your stinky presence once again?

This summer we will be on one of those cattle call festival tours, and then back again in the fall.

Ok…so I’m in a band and I know when I’m on the road things can get boring unless you make it “interesting”. What do you and the other sentient scumdogs of GWAR do on the road when you get that ache of boredom?

Tons and tons of drugs.

How about some more laid back questions. What do you all do when you’re not recording or touring?

Bang bevy's of boozey bitches, lie, lie around, fuck, eat, spit, give out AIDS....the usual. Pretty much take it easy knowing full well the next tour is right around the corner.

What is your favorite way to lay waste to the human scum? I’m just curious!

With my ass!

What’s next on the agenda for GWAR?

Ending typing this interview (which I hate) and getting on with my life!

Thanks for you time scumlord! Anything you would like to say to the legion of cannon fodder out in this decay world or just general ending comments?

No!

So I barely escaped with my life as Oderus was annoyed with the interview and all my pesky questions. However, I did get away and this was the out come. This might give you a not so inside look at the band, but does spark the craving to head out to see GWAR live and bloody.
