Heavy metal band, GWAR, has just released the third single for their upcoming album, The Blood of Gods. The album will be released this Friday. “Fuck This Place,” “El Presidente,” and their most recent single “I’ll Be Your Monster,” are available now thanks to Nerdist.com.

The album challenges humanity and their role in the creation of government, religion, fast, food, factory farming and the destruction of the planet. The band, composed of “alien warriors from Antartica,” highlight the parasitic nature of humanity, just as they have in past albums.

The band will begin their tour of the album this Friday in their founding city of Richmond. For the first half of the tour, they will be supported by Ghoul, Doyle, and U.S. Bastards. For the second half, He Is Legend will take Doyle’s place.
