Lzzy Hale made a cameo during GWAR’s set at the Palladium Times Square in New York City on October 13th for a performance of their collaborative track “The Cutter.”
The Halestorm frontwoman reprised her role as her Scumdog alter-ego Clitaurus Maximus from GWAR’s 2022 album The New Dark Ages, on which she sang a duet with Blöthar the Berserker on “The Cutter.”
For the NYC rendition of the tune, Hale came out in the appropriate garb, donning battle armor and wielding a giant sword. From there, she stole the show as Clitaurus Maximus, singing centerstage while hoisting her blade, power-metal style.
GWAR took to social media to sing her praises following the show.
“We are not easily impressed,” the band wrote on Facebook, “but the mighty Lzzy Hale aka CLITAURUS MAXIMUS making an appearance for ‘The Cutter’ at our show in NYC was almost as satisfying as making your ears bleed from our own fantastic screams and drum bangs and guitar shreds. Toronto, Cincinnati, and Milwaukee, you have MUCH to live up to. Prepare yourselves for mayhem, you terrible, awful people. Yippee.”
