This Is Gwar: Oxford Talks to Balsac and Jizmak of Gwar

This Is Gwar will begin streaming on Shudder July 21st. Here are Gwar members Mike Derks and Brad Roberts to take you behind the scenes of Gwar.

The 13th Floor’s Oxford Lamoureaux spoke to two of the longest-serving members of the metal band/art collective whose members identify as intergalactic barbarians obsessed with murder, sodomy, and masturbation, complete with giant latex puppet stage shows infamous for spraying attendees with fake bodily fluids.

Watch the video with Brad Roberts, aka Jizmak Da Gusha, who has been “pounding the skins” for Gwar since 1989.

Then, if that’s not enough, listen here as Oxford chats with Mike Derks, aka Balsac the Jaws of Death, who has been playing guitar with Gwar since 1988.

Along with the new documentary, the band has a new album, The New Dark Ages and a new graphic novel on the way.

Here’s the blurb on This Is Gwar:
