GWAR have announced a vinyl reissue of their debut album Hell-O!, celebrating the 36th anniversary of the vaunted 1988 LP.
The reissue is set for September 13th on blood-spattered clear vinyl (and CD) and includes expanded artwork featuring never-before-seen photos, including pics from the original album release show in Richmond, Virginia. The band is also reprinting the “GWAR Must Die” T-shirts that were prevalent in the early days.
Blóthar the Berserker, who was originally the bassist Beefcake the Mighty back then, reflected on GWAR’s earliest incarnation and the punk/thrash of Hell-O!.
“It was the 80’s. I was so young and scared,” said Blóthar in a press announcement. “I will always remember wandering around the seedy sex arcades of Times Square, pants around my ankles, tears in my eyes…little did I know, I was working on the most important record in the history of shock rock. We were polishing a turd for the ages…we wanted to call it ‘Beat the Meatles,’ but the record company said no…and ‘Hell-O’ was born.”
GWAR are set to embark on a pair of US tour legs in June and September, with tickets available here. The headlining dates will lead up to their appearance at Knotfest Iowa on September 21st.
If you’re planning to see GWAR at a venue near you, be sure to equip yourself with some of the band’s Bud of Gods CBD and Delta products for the ultimate Bohab concert experience.
