This Thursday (March 19th), intergalactic shock rock legends Gwar returns to destroy stages across the United States on The Gor Gor Strikes Back Tour, a massive spring run featuring Soulfly as direct support and King Parrot opening every night. The carnage begins in their adopted hometown of Richmond, VA, and rampages through April 29th, ending in Charlotte, NC. A complete list of dates is below. Armed with fresh atrocities, new victims, and the unstoppable might of Gor Gor himself, Gwar are promising their most crushing live spectacle yet.
Lead Vocalist The Berserker Blothar gives a preview of what fans can expect nightly: “Gwar, Soulfly and King Parrot. This tour will be a ritual orgy of death, sex, violence and rock and fu**ing roll!! Let the severed heads rain, bouncing down the pyramid onto a heap of human skulls. Be there humans, or be left to suffer on this planet while we party in the stars!”

With their latest album, An Insatiable Violence, out and a recent UK tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of None So Vile completed, Canadian Technical Death Metal legends Cryptopsy return this year again with their Malicious & Vile Summer 2026.
An Insatiable Violence was dubbed a serious contender for their best yet across their 31-year discography by MetalTalk at its release in June 2025.
“We had to write the majority of An Insatiable Violence while on the Death to All tour, which was something we’d never done before,” vocalist Matt McGachy said. “Flo [Mounier, drums] and Chris [Donaldson, guitar] really put their hats on. It was a feat.”
Ever since COVID our focus is clearer,” Mounier said. “A lot of work gets done faster, and we push each other to get it done.”

Frequently cited by Death Metal fans as one of the most extreme and seminal records the genre has ever produced, None So Vile is 31 minutes of unrelenting intensity that reshaped the boundaries of Technical Brutal Death Metal.
“The album left a lasting mark on me when I first heard it,” MetalTalk’s Matty Hunter wrote at the January 2026 Manchester Academy gig. “I was blown away and quickly understood the hype. It is firmly my favourite Death Metal record, and as a huge Cryptopsy fan, seeing a show on this tour was a must. So I travelled down from Newcastle for it.”

(Andy Synn was an early supporter of Growth and their debut album, so it only made sense for him to cover their long-gestating sophomore record, out next week) Good things come, or so they say, to those who wait. And, goddamn, have I been waiting for the new record from underground Aussie sensations Growth for […]
