Description

Happy Halloween! Galactic warrior, scumdog of the universe and leader of Beavis and Butt-Heads favourite band, Blöthar the Berserker, is our guest on Episode 205 of Sappenin' Podcast! The GWAR vocalist elaborates on why the group were banished to earth for millions of years, their shock-rock factor and leaving their mark on heavy metal music. In this conversation, Blöthar and his human vessel Michael Bishop, open up on life behind the scenes, evolving their characters for almost four decades, DIY ethos vs building their own costumes, why professional wresting is such a influence, being labelled satanists by mainstream media, how British parliament banned them from the country in the 80's, famously spraying their audience with blood, urine and seaman, invading pop-culture TV, unexpected rider requests, playing Warped Tour, acid trips, comic books, dildos, new music, menthol toilet paper, writing with Lizzy Hale, dealing with death, Michael's emotional full circle moment fronting the band, the This Is GWAR documentary and so much more!
