In your face - This is Gwar review by HM
Never heard of this band, so it was an education of sorts. Not into heavy metal? It probably won't matter as it is a documentory about personalities really. The music isn't up to much, however, the band were an art school creation wanting to be as garish and shocking as posibble and they succeded on that front! The look they have has clearly influenced other bands to dress up (Slipknot and Lordy spring ot mind). So, an interesting doc and worth a look.
