GWAR – celebrate 40th anniversary with The Return of Gor Gor, comic book, and new single!

Shock rock legends GWAR are back to wreak havoc once again with their new multimedia release, The Return of Gor Gor, due 25th July 2025 via Pit Records/Z2 Comics. This multi-format assault on the senses includes brand-new studio recordings, ferocious live performances, and an exclusive 32-page comic detailing the epic return of Gor Gor, GWAR’s long-lost, three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex. This release is a collaboration between GWAR and Z2 Comics, ensuring fans get the ultimate immersive experience.

Kicking off the carnage, GWAR premieres the video for ‘Lot Lizard’ today. Fans can also stream the track across all digital service providers (DSPs) and pre-order The Return of Gor Gor now at Pit Records (where you can also get a Gor Gor Plush) and Z2Comics.com/gwar. 

About the new single, Blothar states, “‘Lot Lizard’ is a blistering return to GWAR as a punk metal powerhouse with a sense of humour. What could be more charming than a song about a crack-addicted, cross-dressing, dinosaur prostitute that shreds weiners at truck stop pickle parks? Nuttin honey. That’s what. The song rocks. Listen ya mooks…”

The Return of Gor Gor features three brand new GWAR songs mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, GodCity Studios) and four live tracks captured at The Masqueradein Atlanta, GA during GWAR’s 2024 tour, mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy. All songs were produced by GWAR and mastered by Alan Douches. The release also includes a 32-page comic detailing Gor Gor’s return, which is included with all versions. Vinyl editions boast an animated etching of Gor Gor on Side A, with purple vinyl available exclusively at GWAR.net and green vinyl at Z2Comics.com. A Deluxe Hardback edition is also available via Z2Comics.com.

Blothar comments on The Return of Gor Gor, saying “The last time I saw Gor Gor he was just a wee fart dragon. He had crawled on the hood of my Kia Soul and was holding on for dear life while I drove to the store to buy Clamato. I bathed him in wiper fluid and used my wipers to knock him off my sweet ride. Next thing I know, he’s a 20-foot tall trans-species prostitute working a pickle park. Apparently, he’s all grown up and looking for revenge. This record chronicles his struggles as a young Dino-American trying to make his way in a cruel world.”
