GWAR announce The Black Death Rager World Tour this spring which will include a show in Albany at the Empire Live on June 12.
“Ah, the cruel Spring, when life bursts forth and humans are reminded how dead they are inside! The horrific majesty of GWAR will blow through your town like painted ladies working the block for that rock.”
Lead doom-warbler, The Berserker Blothar
On the tour the band will be joined by opening acts Crowbar, The Native Howl and Nekrogoblikon.
The tour coincides with the release of GWAR’s upcoming album “The New Dark Ages,” scheduled for release on June 3.
In addition, to the tour and album GWAR will also release a graphic novel, “GWAR in the Duoverse of Absurdity”. It tells the story of an epic battle between GWAR and their doppelgangers from an alternate universe. The graphic novel is illustrated by established comic book artist Andy MacDonald, whose previous work includes Wolverine, Dr. Strange, and Wonder Woman.
Tour tickets for fan club members are available Thursday, March 3—a day in advance of general sale tickets. Those tickets will be available Friday, March 4.
