GWAR have announced a new album called “The New Dark Ages.“ The effort will be available on CD and digitally on June 3 and on vinyl and cassette on September 16. Notably, the record will be released alongside a companion graphic novel titled “GWAR In The Duoverse Of Absurdity.”
Vocalist Blóthar The Berserker had the following to say about the new album:
“This is the greatest rock record of all time. These are the songs for a new age, a New Dark Age, when men live by the dimming light of a technology destined to betray them. Listen, as we have a rock and roll orgy in the ruins of the world to celebrate humanity’s descent into an age of darkness, disease, ignorance, and death.”
The following was also said about the graphic novel, which was illustrated by Andy MacDonald (‘Wolverine‘, ‘Dr. Strange‘, ‘Wonder Woman‘), Shane White (‘Things Undone‘, ‘Braun‘, ‘Endless Summer‘), and Matt Maguire (GWAR):
“In the graphic novel the band are sucked off into an alternate universe to do battle with their evil twins and the specter of rogue technology. On ‘The New Dark Ages‘ our heroes floorboard it through a kaleidoscope of hard driving heavy metal, and rock-n-fucking roll, building on their hilarious mythos, introducing cool new characters, and cataloging mankind’s hapless abandonment of their passions, rituals, and beliefs.”
Guitarist Bälsäc The Jaws Of Death added:
“This was the most utterly engrossing book I’ve ever read! I couldn’t wait until I’d read what was on the page before I was compelled to turn it! This novel has the one element that is missing in so many so-called literary masterpieces: It’s about me!”
