Heavy Metal Halloween

GWAR

GWAR

Despite being labeled by critics as a band that wouldn’t last long GWAR are still going. Forming in 1985, they were hidden by masks and elaborate costumes, well before the days of Slipknot and Lordi. They were the next logical step in shock rock from Alice Cooper, Mercyful Fate, and W.A.S.P., bringing obscenities and satirical perspectives of figures popular in current events. With their punk-laced thrash-style rock, GWAR brought a new element to the genre that would influence newcomers in the years that followed.

  2. I’m guessing the Misfits weren’t “METAL” enough to be included. To that I respond with “Earth A.D.” ’nuff said.
