"Those scumdogs of the universe Gwar have returned from their icy Antarctic lair to assault the senses once again. This time humans attack them in their own fortress, forcing our favorite anti-heroes into the catacombs below Earth's surface. Here they must come face to face with the ultimate Evil One (you all know of whom I speak) and best him to reclaim their castle. Will they succeed? Buy this album and take the journey with Gwar to find out. This album is just pure wholesome (well maybe not so wholesome) entertainment, meshed with amazing musicianship. After so many years, it's hard to believe that a band can still put out consistantly killer albums when so many have fallen before them."

"For anybody who has seen them live, GWAR holds a special place in their hearts. OFtentimes GWAR's music comes into question, but really most of it is not bad. The last album War Party was a thrash metal masterpiece. After 2 years of waiting, GWAR's follow-up Beyond Hell has been released.



First off, all of GWAR's albums are concept albums, further telling the tale of GWAR, the neat bit about Beyond Hell is that this is one of the first times you really feel the story being told. In the sense of storytelling, Beyond Hell wins. The story goes that GWAR are becoming shunned from Earth, so they must seek refuge by going down- to Hell. The story becomes more and more grandiose as GWAR battle the devil and the entire thing has a feel of an epic.



How is the music? Good. Not much stands out completely, but all works well when put together on a whole. This albums is really great to listen to in its entirety, much like the new Iron Maiden album (A Matter of Life and Death). Some Standout tracks are: War is All We Know, Back In Crack, The Ultimate Bohab and School's Out.



OF course, like any GWAR release, Beyond Hell is funnier than hell."

THIS ALBUM ROCKS!!
