GWAR: New Video Interview With ODERUS URUNGUS
- June 30, 2012
Raw Cut Media conducted an interview with GWAR lead singer Oderus Urungus on June 16 at the D-Tox Rockfest in Montebello, Quebec, Canada. You can now watch the chat below. Also available is performance footage from the D-Tox Rockfest concert.
GWAR's upcoming CD will be a tribute to their fallen bandmate and friend Cory Smoot, a.k.a. Flattus Maximus, who was found dead as GWAR was about to enter Canada on November 3, 2011. He was 34 years old.
GWAR returned to the road in March on the second leg of their "Return Of The World Maggot Tour". The trek kicked off with a special tribute show for Cory Smoot in Richmond, Virginia, at The National Theater on March 16. All proceeds from the Richmond show went to the Smoot Family Fund which has been established to help support Cory's widow and their unborn child. Support on this run came from fellow Richmond metallers MUNICIPAL WASTE, and California's GHOUL.
GWAR's latest album, "Bloody Pit Of Horror", sold around 2,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The band's previous CD, "Lust In Space", opened with 5,000 units to debut at position No. 96 on The Billboard 200 chart.
