The New Dark Ages

The New Dark Ages is the fifteenth studio album by the legendary shock rock band GWAR, released in 2022. A furious blend of heavy metal, punk, and satirical mayhem, the album marks a new chapter in the band's mythos. Set in a dystopian vision of the future, The New Dark Ages tackles themes of societal collapse, media manipulation, and the absurdities of modern life, all through GWAR’s signature grotesque humor and theatrical intensity. Accompanied by the companion graphic novel GWAR in the Duoverse of Absurdity, the album expands the band's lore while delivering the raw, chaotic energy fans have come to expect. It's both a savage critique and a celebration of humanity’s darkest impulses—perfectly GWAR.
