GWAR Treat 'Scumdogs of the Universe' to 30th Anniversary Box Set

The "remixed, remastered, perfected" version arrives this summer

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished May 4, 2020

Should it need repeating, we don't recommend you try GWAR's suggested COVID-19 cure. If you did, you wouldn't be around to unpack their new Scumdogs of the Universe anniversary box set.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the group's 1989 sophomore album, and to mark the occasion, they'll release a "remixed, remastered, perfected" version in August, "the way the Scumdogs intended the listener to hear it."

The box finds the remixed, remastered album arriving alongside a cassette of demos and rarities. A 40-page book of classic photos, gig posters and more is also included, while the package is rounded out by a turntable slipmat, poster, sticker pack, reproduction all-access pass and more.

Signed and unsigned editions of the box set are now available for pre-order. You can find album and demo cassette tracklists below.

GWAR are currently holed up in GWARantine, while we await a follow-up to 2017's The Blood of Gods.
