The band have announced details of The Return of Gor Gor, a brand-new multimedia release set to drop on 25th July 2025 via Pit Records/Z2 Comics.
This all-out sensory assault promises a little bit of everything GWAR fans could hope for: brand-new studio tracks, blistering live recordings, and an exclusive 32-page comic chronicling the epic resurrection of Gor Gor, GWAR’s long-lost, three-tonne Tyrannosaurus Rex. A collaborative effort between GWAR and Z2 Comics, the release is set to deliver an immersive, over-the-top experience in true GWAR fashion.
To kick things off, the band have unleashed the official video for new single ‘Lot Lizard’ today. The track is also now streaming across all major digital platforms, with The Return of Gor Gor available for pre-order from Pit Records (where you can also grab a limited edition Gor Gor plush toy) and Z2 Comics.
Speaking about the new track, frontman Blothar commented:
“‘Lot Lizard’ is a blistering return to GWAR as a punk metal powerhouse with a sense of humour. What could be more charming than a song about a crack-addicted, cross-dressing, dinosaur prostitute that shreds weiners at truck stop pickle parks? Nuttin’ honey. That’s what. The song rocks. Listen ya mooks…”
The upcoming release features three brand-new GWAR songs, mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, GodCity Studios), alongside four ferocious live recordings captured at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia during the band’s 2024 tour. The live tracks were mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy, with all songs produced by GWAR and mastered by Alan Douches.
Each version of The Return of Gor Gor comes complete with the 32-page comic detailing the monster’s triumphant return. Collectors will no doubt be keen to snap up the special vinyl editions, which include a mesmerising animated etching of Gor Gor on Side A. Fans can choose from exclusive purple vinyl via GWAR.net and green vinyl through Z2Comics.com. A Deluxe Hardback edition of the comic is also available for those wanting the ultimate package.
It’s weird, it’s loud, it’s grotesque — it’s GWAR. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
