 (6 Customer Reviews)
Chock-full of random derision, expansive snarkiness, and low-down garage sensibilities, Carnival of Chaos is Gwar at its best. The snapshots of a cartoon apocalypse and over-the-top deviance of this 1997 Metal Blade release are in strict keeping with the group's foul vision. The punk-inflected chugging and whining guitar lines make this one of Gwar's most sylized and, well, listenable releases to date. But the bizarre and frequently self-effacing lyrics are what make Carnival of Chaos one of Gwar's best offerings. "Penguin Attack" is an absolute hoot, with some of metal's all-time funniest lyrics: "They are on a rampage/They were first to fight/They would write a new page/If they could only write." Other choice cuts include the hardcore-esque "If I Could Be That" and the '80s pop of "I Suck on My Thumb." Stripped down and full of goofy but vibrant anxiety, Carnival of Chaos is a must for the thinking Gwar fan (if such a creature exists). ~ Vincent Jeffries

 CoC
This is GWAR's weakist album.The dabble in country,jazz,and punk on CoC.It does have its moments and is a must have for hardcore GWAR fans (like me) but if this is your first listen to them buy war party instead.

Carnival Of Chaos
 $11.05
Harris (guitar); Michael Sid Jones (saxophone); John Mela (trumpet); "Crazy Jimmy" Garthoff (trombone).
On their fourth release, This Toilet Earth, Gwar managed to create a song so heinous ("B.D.F.") that it was removed from the disc post-release, just as the band was removed from their new label, Priority Records. Happily, the lords of gross-out metal were welcomed back to their old home, Metal Blade Records, with open arms and the group hardly missed a beat. On this 1994 offering, the mothers of scatological invention add a smidgen of stop-and-go faux funk to their assault. Faith No More and Zappa-like soundscapes advance tracks like "Pepperoni" beyond Gwar's traditional ...
| | Gwar We Kill Everything CD (1999)
Carnival Of Chaos
$10.99  
Heavy metal novelty act or harbingers of Armageddon? Either way, Gwar is here and here to stay. After being imprisoned on earth, specifically Antarctica, the band was freed by Capitalist Records executive Sleazy P. Martini and turned into a rock band. WE KILL EVERYTHING continues Gwar's onslaught.
Drawing influences from Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, and Twisted Sister, the band stays true to its tongue-in-cheek metal and over-the-top image. The punky "Baby Raper" opens the album. "The Performer" has a piano intro where vocalist Oderus Urungus proclaims "I'll come to town for you, dress up like a clown for you, pull my pants down for you, then I'll crawl away," as the accelerates to a ska metal pace. "A Short History of the End of the World" is an epic metal instrumental in the Iron Maiden vein. Rounding out the group is Balsac the Jaws of Death (guitar), Jizmak Da Gusha (drums), Beefcake ...

For a bunch of guys dressed up in goofy costumes, Gwar sure can rock. RAGNAROK, the band's fifth album, doesn't do much in the way of expanding Gwar's thrash ...

From the beginning, it's been one of Gwar's tricks to riff on the clichés of heavy metal while writing capably within the genre. The band's third effort presents a clutch of songs that don't disappoint in the grosser than gross category, but also feature tighter pacing and better ...

It's always a sign that a group is hot if they release a holiday album mere months after their debut. That's the case with *NSYNC. Their debut was released in America in late March, and in early December, Home for Christmas hit the shelves. Much of the album is devoted to newer material, with only a handful of songs qualifying as standards: "The Christmas Song," "The First Noel," and "O Holy Night." All of it is given the familiar *NSYNC sheen, alternating between slickly produced adult contemporary ballads and lite dance-pop. Fans of the group will certainly find it reasonably enjoyable, even though it makes ...
