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.

i wish there was a 4.5 star rating but i like gwar so i rounded up to 5. this album is very good and ranks in some of the best music gwar has made. usually as bands approach around 20 years, ( the length that gwar has been together) they usually lose much of their ability to produce songs with flair ( aka metallica). this album is full blooded metal, and is quite comical. if you like gwar buy this album for 1: its the cheapest for some reason and 2: its good

If you are GWAR fan (like myself)or you wanna get into them you must buy this cd...NOW!!!

on the "discussion board" thingly on the bottom some kid says "go to hell!" sucks....Screw him! that is one of the BEST tracks! eight lock is probably my favorite though! if ur thinking about getting it u should! dont listen to people that say "that band blows,man". get it and judge for yourself. i personaly think any one with Real taste in rock/metal music will love this cd! also check out violence has arrived! thei BEST of all! im lookin forward to seeing them this halloween in louisvile!!

So we count 2006 and two years has passed since the splendid 'War Party' release, with extensive touring following it. Being on 'sounds of the underground' tour two years in a row (three with 2007) definitely cranks up expectations for a new GWAR record, also said to be a conceptual one.

And it is damn good. While 'Beyond Hell' may not have as many catchy tracks as 'War Party' does, it makes up for it in it's entirety. Production is greeat, story is enjoyable, the songs makes you want to listen to the disc over and over. What I especially like about it is that GWAR has taken on a somewhat more serious edge, continuing the trend from the last albums. 'Tormentor' may have a chorus with somewhat cheesy choir, but a blistering solo, depth in the verses, and great lyrics makes it my favorite track. 'Eighth lock' which is becoming the second video off the album is a deep, penetrating one, in-your-face metal.

The Alice Cooper cover at the end is negligable, but of course we know it was made to get GWAR some airplay. It's not bad, but doesn't really add anything either.

Pete Townshend has done a brilliant job with production, Cory Smoot who is a most talented musician has lifted GWAR's musical level, and with the stage show and charisma of the solid members this makes for an excellent experience. GWAR rules, long live GWAR! 5/5.

Gwar has 2 sides to them their metal-punk and their goofy fun side.

This, like their last two, is one of their metal-punk albums, which is not to say that it's bad. (i perfer it to war party, due to the fact that you can understand the lyrics at least on this one). But i do miss the goofyness, and the ensembled cast of extras.

all-in-all, if you're a fan of gwar to begin with then you'll like it. If this is you're new to gwar, if you just want to hear them rock out (and their music is great) then give this album a whirl, but to me; what made gwar, gwar, was the 'fun' that was in their earlier lyrics.
