GWAR Debut Animated Video for “The Great Circus Train Disaster”

Shock rock legends GWAR have unveiled a brand-new animated video for “The Great Circus Train Disaster”, the opening track from their upcoming EP The Return Of Gor Gor. That 7-song release will serve as a sonic companion to the band’s new comic book of the same name, due out on July 25th.

The EP and comic expand on the twisted lore of Gor Gor, the band’s long-lost Tyrannosaurus Rex. The surreal animated video for “The Great Circus Train Disaster” was crafted by Makinita Silva, matching GWAR’s signature brand of chaos and dark humor.

Grodius Maximus, the band’s guitarist, shared the following origin story for the track:

“The song just kinda came to us one day while we were all hanging out injecting ketamine and crushed-up insects into our dick holes. We were f****d up for days as we experienced hallucinations of charred clown bodies, lobster people impaled on stalagmites, and the unholy image of our pet baby dinosaur being whored out as sexual meat to a greasy mass of scabies-encrusted republicans and greased-up catholic priests. When we came to, the song was fully formed. All we had to do was hit record and BOOM…‘The Great Circus Train Disaster‘ was born…”

He continued:

“Now, MTV and Def Jam Recordings are knocking down our door. Charli XCX, Slipknot, and Garth Brooks all want to collaborate with us, and to be honest, this type of success is just a bit overwhelming. Yeah, we get it. We’re amazing songwriters… Deal with it!”

The Return Of Gor Gor EP and comic book drop July 25th.
