Shock rock legends GWAR continue their 40th anniversary celebration with the release of their new single, The Great Circus Train Disaster, that is the second track unveiled from their upcoming multimedia release, The Return of Gor Gor, that is due out on July 25th via Pit Records and Z2 Comics. The new single arrives with an animated adventure that captures the mayhem and madness only GWAR can deliver, telling the tale of a catastrophic circus train derailment involving flaming elephants, twisted clowns, and one extremely unlucky cotton candy vendor. The Return of Gor Gor features three brand new GWAR songs mixed by Kurt Ballou and four live tracks captured at The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA during GWAR’s 2024 tour. The release also includes a 32-page comic detailing Gor Gor’s return, which is included with all versions.

“The song just kinda came to us one day while we were all hanging out injecting ketamine and crushed-up insects into our dick holes. We were fucked up for days as we experienced hallucinations of charred clown bodies, lobster people impaled on stalagmites, and the unholy image of our pet baby dinosaur being whored out as sexual meat to a greasy mass of scabies encrusted republicans and greased up catholic priests. When we came to, the song was fully formed. All we had to do was hit record and BOOM…’The Great Circus Train Disaster’ was born. Now, MTV and Def Jam Recordings are knocking down our door. Charlie XCX, Slipknot, and Garth Brooks all want to collaborate with us, and to be honest, this type of success is just a bit overwhelming. Yeah, we get it. We’re amazing songwriters… Deal with it!” (guitarist Grodius Maximus)

“The last time I saw Gor Gor he was just a wee fart dragon. He had crawled on the hood of my Kia Soul and was holding on for dear life while I drove to the store to buy Clamato. I bathed him in wiper fluid and used my wipers to knock him off my sweet ride. Next thing I know, he’s a 20-foot tall trans-species prostitute working a pickle park. Apparently, he’s all grown up and looking for revenge. This record chronicles his struggles as a young Dino-American trying to make his way in a cruel world.” (vocalist Blothar)
