Celebrating A Metal Christmas With GWAR

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 08:00 PM PST

GWAR

Last year for Christmas, metal demons GWAR decided to post a video that has since become one of my favorite videos of all time. It is fitting to post it up again this year, as sadly we lost guitarist Cory Smoot during 2011.

Cory Smoot aka Flattus Maximus was found dead in November this year. Smoot's presence in the band was a significant shift forward for GWAR, with the new Flattus contributing his solid musical technique and thoughtful production values to the development of the band. He will be missed.

So, without further ado, here's GWAR going caroling for Christmas - posted here both for the festive season, and in memory of Cory Smoot [...]
