Yes, it's Halloween once again, and there is no better place to surround yourself with the Halloween spirit than at First Avenue this Saturday: GWAR returns once again to destroy your sensibilities and sully your clothes. There’s a moment in the midst of any GWAR concert, where, soaked in blood from the eviscerated body of a pop-cultural icon and bruised from the fists flailed your direction in the mosh pit, you realize that this is perhaps the pinnacle of concert euphoria.

GWAR is more than a concert, it is an visceral musical experience. GWAR is heavy metal at its most balls-out (literally; you should see lead member Oderus Urungus swinging his obscenely monstrous genitalia with wild abandon) ridiculous, as monsters take stage and kill all the humans in sight while rocking out painfully hardcore. With smatterings of theater and performance art, and splatterings of brains and internal organs, GWAR turns First Avenue into hell on Earth, and brings the audience kicking and screaming along for the ride.

There is no better way to celebrate Halloween, hands down. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting covered in a wide range of fluids and come see the mayhem.
