GWAR’s “The Great Circus Train Disaster” is an Animated Tale of Drugs, Death, and Destruction

Hail to our Lords and Masters, the mighty GWAR. With their upcoming multimedia release The Return of Gor Gor slated for July 25 via Pit Records and Z2 Comics, they’ve deigned us worthy enough to share their latest single and accompanying music video, “The Great Circus Train Disaster.”

I know that might sound like some historical mumbo-jumbo, but fear not — it’s an animated music video that according to the band tells the story of “a catastrophic circus train derailment involving flaming elephants, twisted clowns, and one extremely unlucky cotton candy vendor.”

Speaking of the track itself, guitarist Grodius Maximus explains that it all came about like most GWAR masterpieces do — during a massive bender.

“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 f****d 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!”
