Gwar is celebrating 36 years of their debut album Hell-O with a brand new reissue. The reissue is on Blood-Splattered Clear vinyl and includes expanded artwork featuring never-before-seen photos from the time, including the original album release show in Richmond. Pre-orders for vinyl and CD are available here.
"It was the 80's. I was so young and scared," said current Gwar vocalist Blóthar the Berserker, who performed on Hell-O as Beefcake The Mighty. "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."
