Gwar
This was Gwar's first self-released video. It compiles early TV appearances and live performance footage. The tape features the band in early versions of their costumes, as well as characters, such as Cardinal Syn and Techno Destructo. The video was only available on VHS and is now out of print.
The track list includes:
Also known as RAWGwar: The Next Mutation. This was sold, exclusively, by the band, through their catalog, and not available in stores.
Gwar's first commercial video release on the MetalBlade Video label that was sold through major retailers. Billed with them playing a live show in Antarctica the packageing reads as quoted; "For the first time you can enjoy an actual Gwar cannibalistic blood orgy invading the privacy of your own home. Finally you can experience a live performance in relative safety. Those too timid to attend a live Gwar show will appreciate that even though most viewers will suffer permanent brain damage at least they won't get blood all over their latest trendy outfit. Laugh in abject horror as Oderous Urungus, The Sexicutioner, Slymenstra Hymen, and company Rape, Burn, and Pillage their way into your heart. Join them in their never ending quest for exploitational sex and gratuitous violence." First release was on VHS, and the DVD is still available. Running Time: 57:45
This was Gwar's first attempt at a commercially released, long-form movie. The story follows the story of Gwar's conflict with the Morality Squad, after the theft of Oderus' "Cuttlefish". Meanwhile, the giant T-Rex, Gor-Gor is born and helps Gwar defeat the Morality Squad. The video was nominated for a Grammy in 1993. This video remains in print, though the DVD is extremely rare.
