Meet Gwar’s New Female Vocalist Vulvatron
  |  @   |  

When Gwar vocalist Dave Brockie passed away earlier this year from an accidental heroin overdose at the age of 50, many thought that it might spell the end of the iconic band of self-proclaimed “alien scumdogs.” But just weeks after sending Brockie’s character Oderus Urungus back to the mother ship with a viking funeral at the annual fan appreciation event GwarBQ, the band has debuted their new lineup.

Instead of trying to replace Brockie in a direct and obvious way, it seems the band has chosen another route entirely — Gwar now features two lead singers and one of whom is a badass Amazonian alien known as Vulvatron.

GWAR Send Fallen Leader Oderus Urungus Back To The Mothership With Viking Funeral
  |  @   |  

Gwar frontman Dave Brockie was a larger than life figure to his fans, as was his onstage alter ego Oderus Urungus. So when Brockie died of an accidental overdose of heroin on March 23, 2014, the band never dreamed of attempting to pass off someone else in the Oderus costume.

Brockie was laid to rest, eulogized, and mourned at private and public memorials back in the Spring, but the band waited for their annual GwarBQ celebration in their hometown of Richmond, VA, this past weekend to send the scum dog alien that was Oderus Urungus back to the mothership. Fans got to witness a touching tribute to Brockie and his alter ego by friends and fellow musicians, such as Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, followed by a flaming viking funeral send-off of the Oderus costume.
