GWAR

Gwar, often stylized as GWAR, is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1984, composed of and operated by a frequently rotating line-up of musicians, artists, and filmmakers collectively known as Slave Pit Inc. Since the death of frontman and lead singer Dave Brockie in 2014, the group has continued recording and performing without any of its founding members.Identified by their distinctively grotesque costumes, Gwar's core thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology which portrays the band members as barbaric interplanetary warriors, a narrative which serves as the basis for all of the band's albums, live shows and media.

The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath!

Flecked with gore I face you
My hide is writhing with worms
I come from the place where the Flesh Sculptors pile
Wretched creations born of blood and bile

The creatures that lived here
And now held in our thrall
The mayor and his cronies
Have been nailed to the wall

This pattern of violence
It hinges on fate
The seal of your coffin
You found out to late

The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath!

I am the ruler
The mutilator of dreams
All life falls apart at the seams

The creatures that lived here
And now held in our thrall
The mayor and his cronies
Have been nailed to the wall

This pattern of violence
Hinges on fate
The seal of your coffin, you
Found out to late

The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath!

Prepare yourselves for violence
A spinning, flailing mass
Tips are jocked, jaws are clocked, we sit back and laugh
Spitting bloody chicklets, veins are bulging from their throat

The blood fills a moat
You must fight with boats
Trying to express your rage
You must use your fists
Personality dissolves in a
In a red and raging mist

The Apes of Wrath! The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath! The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath! The Apes of Wrath!
The Apes of Wrath! The Apes of Wrath!

I am the ruler
Mutilator of dreams
Truth be told, I enjoy the role
Illicitor of screams
