GWAR – Gor Gor Must Die
About This Event
GWAR, the long-running American heavy metal collective born in Richmond in the mid-1980s and organized under Slave Pit Inc., performs "Gor Gor Must Die" at Palladium Times Square. The project’s shifting lineup has continued to record and tour; its live shows treat character, staging and visual art as integral components of the music, a theatrical framework familiar to New York-area audiences.
About Gor Gor Must Die
Now at Palladium Times Square, “Gor Gor Must Die” brings GWAR’s long-running, character-based spectacle into a New York club setting. Formed in Richmond in the mid-1980s under the Slave Pit Inc. umbrella, the collective has kept touring and recording through decades of shifting personnel, treating metal as theater as much as music. Framed here as a dance event, the show leans on choreography, staging, and ritualized mayhem rather than narrative clarity. In NYC, it reads less like a debut than a reminder that underground performance traditions can survive by mutating.
