GWAR are rolling out a new album and comic book release, The Return of Gor Gor, arriving June 25th via Pit Records and Z2 Comics. The video for new song “Lot Lizard” can be streamed now.
The seven-track album includes three brand new studio-recorded songs that were mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge), plus four live tracks captured at The Masquerade in Atlanta during GWAR’s 2024 tour (and mixed by Chris Ronan Murphy).
Among those studio cuts is “Lot Lizard,” a two-and-a-half-minute blitz of thrashy punk metal about a “crack-addicted cross-dressing dinosaur prostitute that shreds weiners at truck stop pickle parks,” in the words of imitable frontman Blothar. In patented GWAR fashion, this comes with a NSFW video of said prostitute and his, um, clientele.

The prostitute’s origin story can be found in the 32-page The Return of Gor Gor comic that accompanies the album. It tells of the return of Gor Gor, GWAR’s long-lost, three-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex. Per the press release description: “The tale of an orphaned T-Rex cub, lost in a depraved world that is completely alien to him. Will he become an ally of the legendary Scumdogs of the Universe, or will their reunion unleash an apocalyptic battle? Only time will tell.”
Added singer Blothar, “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.”
