Raise your horns and toast the latest collaborationbetween two legendary Virginia originals, Devils Backbone and GWAR! The award-winning brewery and band have teamed up to bring the world a kick-ass canned cocktail, the GWAR Smash. Based on a drink originally served at the notorious GWARBar in Richmond, VA, it is the first rum-based canned cocktail in Devils Backbone’s bestselling Smash lineup. 

Devils Backbone GWAR SMASH Arctic Cocktail is available at major retailers and specialty bottle shops throughout VA, MD, DC and DE, starting this May. You can also order the drink directly to your doorstep with online ordering via Barcart in locations where available.

BälSäc says, “On my travels across the globe, my heart often pines for my adopted sub-tropical island home of Antarctica. Fortunately, Devils Backbone has colluded with the Booze Masters at the GWARbar to create the GWAR Smash - an intensely refreshing and consummately crushable beverage that is as at home at a frigid Arctic beach party as it is at the bar of the most debaucherous old beachcomber. Fruity and proud, Smash will smash your thirst!”

Just in time for 4/20, GWAR are adding to their Bud of Gods CBD line with a new run of products dubbed New Dank Ages! The New Dank Ages collection features premium CBD flower, gummies, and a vape pen, among a number of exclusive accessories.

Of course, New Dank Ages was inspired by the intergalactic barbarians' latest album, 2022's The New Dark Ages. While the original Bud of Gods products remain available, the New Dank Ages items add all new strains and flavors with an even higher potency. All of you puny humans can pre-order now exclusively via Budofgods.com.

The high-quality New Dank Ages CBD flower has hints of grapefruit and blueberry, and is just the stuff the members of GWAR use to chillax after a day of destruction.

Or if you're looking to connect with your inner Scumdog, try the New Dank Ages "Beast" gummies, a potent 40 mg Delta-8 & THCP edible packed with blueberry and raspberry flavors.

For the Bohab on the go, there's the New Dank Ages "Berserker" D8+THCP vape, a citrusy 2-gram (2000 mg) disposable that is fully rechargeable, featuring a sub-ohm coil and long-lasting battery.

GWAR singer Blöthar the Berserker screams, "As an ancient shamanic warrior from outer space, I know my herbal 'supplements.' In 2021, we put out the Bud of Gods with Consequence, and that was good stuff. Now, me and the boys are delighted to bring you a new sun grown, hand trimmed, indica dominant hybrid strain: NEW DANK AGES!"

He continues, "Available in flower, gummies, and vapes, New Dank Ages helps me ignore any and all responsibility, no matter how pressing! Fortress overrun? Screw it. Behind on my ox cart payments? Who cares!? I can snooze through even the loudest and bloodiest battles, it’s the New Dank way!"

But wait, Scumdogs, there's more! You can also get your hands on the New Dank Ages "Ratcatcher" Rolling Machine, a rolling tray, and a sweet T-shirt. After all, if you're gonna feel good, you gotta look good.

Pucker up people! The one and only Cuttlefish of Cthulu, longtime companion of the late Oderus Urungus of GWAR, is now available to take home as your very own adult toy!

GWAR recently seized control of the red-hot phallic forges deep in the Bad Dragon lair, where legendary sex-smiths work day and night to create the highest-quality fantasy-themed adult toys in the business. The result is a new monster dong for the denizens of planet Earth. Now, you too can wield the awesome power of the winged wiener of Oderus Urungus, the Cuttlefish of Cthulu! The original Cuttlefish was slightly larger and every bit as appetizing as a burrito from the Mission District in San Francisco, but this model comes in a wide range of sizes from Small through Extra Large. No matter the size, every one of these gems is larger than life itself, much like GWAR!! The signature model even glows in the dark! We have a limited quantity of these abominations available now, and they’re dropping into our Inventory section like heads into a basket.  Grab your very own Phallus in Wonderland right here!

But that’s not all, your Lords and Masters of GWAR have also unveiled the second series of their collaboration with Knuckleheadz of the GWAR Half Pints. This set consists of Pustulus Maximus, Balsac The Jaws of Death and Bonesnapper the cave troll. These are also available for pre-order with delivery by Xmas right here!

Featuring Special Guest Lzzy Hale! “The New Dark Ages” Out Now on Pit Records

The Intergalactic Warlords of GWAR are currently desecrating North America on their “Black Death Rager World Tour,” in support of their latest release “The New Dark Ages.”  The tour stops in Orlando, FL tonight and runs through November 3rd in Baltimore, MD. 

The band has been featuring many new tracks from the album in their live set, including “The Cutter,” which is a heavy metal burner featuring a special guest appearance from Halestorm lead vocalist and undercover Scumdog Lzzy Hale. Today, the band is pleased to present their music video for the track.  Get your first look at the bloody spectacle HERE.  The video was directed by MyGoodEye.

Of the video, frontman Blothar had the following to say “Lzzy Hale is wonderfully talented. Few realize she is also an undercover Scumdog who came to Earth with the rest of GWAR eons ago under her true name Clitaurus Maximus of the Maximus clan. We are delighted to have her voice and image on this work of absolute genius.” 

Lzzy Hale herself said the following about her alliance with the almighty GWAR “I , Clitaurus Maximus The She Bull… hereby declare, “THE CUTTER” as my FIRST feature in a MOTHERFUCKING GWAR SONG!  Thank you so much to these interplanetary warriors for the much-appreciated bloodletting, and for giving this lil’ beast the opportunity to rear her three ugly heads!” 

Stay tuned for more GWAR news as your Lords and Masters continue their pursuit of Global Domination!
