Well, I have to say, after a very weak debut Hell-o!, Gwar come with this Scumdogs Of The Universe in the year of 1990 (a nice time to heavy releases) and what a record!

Ironic all the way through but with smart riffs and a good musicianship.

I must say that this guys have a strong melodic style, they're able to build some 'bubblegum' melodies at a point they're stick in your brain, and without even realise it you were banging your head together with heir beat, which in my opinion, is fantastic!

'Slaughterama' must be heard, so funny, and so good and 'The Salaminizer' is a good strong point too!

Clap your hands and say... GWAR!!!
