R45 (EP)
R45 is Death Piggy's 3rd and final record before they became absorbed by their side-project GWAR, released in 1985. It has a much more polished sound, due to Russ Bahorsky leaving the group and Steve Douglas replacing him. Russ Bahorsky claimed he was very impressed with the record, stating that "It showed off some of the best production values the band ever managed to achieve" and that "Steve brought a thick, heavy, and polished sound to the group that gave the music a more professional edge".

Death Piggy
Death Piggy was an American hardcore punk band, that was formed in 1982 in Richmond, Virginia. They flourished briefly, before Dave Brockie, then their lead singer/bassist, decided to play a joke set while wearing monster costumes made by VCU art student Colette Miller, as an opening act for Death Piggy. This joke act would later be the basis for the heavy metal band GWAR. They put out a few 45s (some limited to 301 copies) and had a small yet loyal following. They played their last show in 1994, before the death of drummer Sean Sumner. Members Original lineup *Dave Brockie: Lead Vocals/Bass (a.k.a.

GWAR
Gwar, often stylized as GWAR, is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1984, composed of and operated by a frequently rotating line-up of musicians, artists and filmmakers collectively known as Slave Pit Inc. After the death of frontman and lead singer Dave Brockie in 2014, the group has continued without any of its founding members. Identified by their distinctively grotesque costumes, Gwar's core thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology which portrays the band members as barbaric interplanetary warriors, a narrative which serves as the basis for all of the band's albums, live shows and media. With over-the-top violent, sexual, and scatological humor typically incorporating social and political satire, Gwar has attracted both acclaim and controversy for its music and stage shows, the latter of which notoriously showcase enactments of graphic violence that result in the audience being sprayed with fake ...
