Gwar is well known for their epic live shows. The veteran metal band has always had stage theatrics rivalling some theatre troupes. This performance includes a massive amount of vulgarity and graphic violence, threatening to take precedence over rocking out in front of screaming fans.
The show is all well captured in Gwar’s new release, Live From Mt. Fuji. All the energy and excitement is harnessed to a degree on the audio level, with many well known favorites popping up alongside a few lesser tunes. Obviously not as fulfilling as the real deal, the album still manages to entice listeners enough to encourage a trip to Gwar’s next show in town.
