Gwar vocalist Oderus Urungus has confirmed that the band have added a new member to their ranks, thus filling the vacancy left by late guitarist Cory Smoot (aka Flattus Maximus.) The group apparently plan to debut the mystery member during their August 18th “Gwar-B-Q” event at Hadad’s Lake in Richmond, VA.
Speaking on that and the bands studio progress, Urungus offered:
“We are writing 14-16 songs for the new album…then we will keep the best 12 or so, then use the rest for imports and other stuff… This album is the hardest but most satisfying so far. To keep or even surpass what we achieved w Flattus is no easy task. Have never worked so hard on an album, and never in our own in-house Slave-Pit Studios. For Flattus. And you guys! There is a new Scumdog, song titles, lyrics, all kinds of stuff…but it will have to wait til’ this GWAR -B-Q!”
