In The Harvard Lampoon, a prestigious publication made up of parodies and humor-induced news stories, GWAR is regonized and awarded, with possibly the most accurate description the band has ever been given yet.
Here is the official statement given from The Harvard Lampoon:
“In honor of their prodigious achievements of slaughter, brutality, conquer, mayhem, and madness, The Harvard Lampoon is delighted to present GWAR with the award of “Most Terrible, Vile, Disgusting, Disturbed, yet Revoltingly Awesome Band Ever.” On October 16th the band will travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts to visit the Castle and celebrate in a private induction ceremony, banquet, and live human sacrifice in their honor.”
As already stated, the GWAR induction celebration till take place this Saturday at the Harvard Lampoon Castle. Only a select few bands are chosen to be inducted into The Harvard Lampoon, so GWAR is taking this prestigious award for all it’s worth.
Happy human sacrifice, GWAR guys, and congrats.
