Among the many releases today (June 03rd) ushered into the world is GWAR‘s fifteenth studio album, “The New Dark Ages“. That effort is currently only available digitally, with the CD release slated to arrive on July 15th alongside a companion graphic novel, ‘GWAR In The Duoverse Of Absurdity‘. The vinyl and cassette formats will land on September 16th. Accompanying the album’s release is the below premiere of a music video for their new single “Ratcatcher“.
Vocalist Blóthar had the following to say about it:
“What better way to celebrate the end of human existence than a little reminder of your dark and violent past from the disease-ridden middle ages! ‘Ratcatcher‘ is the true story of the mysterious Pied Piper of Hamelin. HA! It was GWAR all along! This tune, and every single song on this album is red hot molten lead poured directly into your ears! GWAR is eternal!”
In other news, Halestorm vocalist/guitarist Lzzy Hale lends her talents to the album track “The Cutter“. You can check that out below as well.
