Blöthar the Berserker and BälSäc crash We Wreck Records to celebrate 40 years of GWAR — the filthiest, weirdest, most blood-soaked band in the galaxy — and their new EP The Return of Gor-Gor. We talk censorship, stage carnage, presidential beheadings, and how GWAR snuck punk rock anarchy into the mainstream. Also: classic chaos with original frontman Oderus Urungus (RIP), including backstage insurrection, crowd mayhem, and the alien soul of a band that just won’t die.

This week on We Wreck Records, Buzz Osborne of Melvins dives deep into Stoner Witch — the band’s 1994 sludge masterpiece and follow-up to their major label debut Houdini (where Buzz famously fired Kurt Cobain as producer). Buzz pulls back the curtain on Melvins’ songwriting process, the power of album artwork, and how movies, books, and bad vibes shape their sound. From Judas Priest’s Unleash the Beast to Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian, this conversation is a wild ride through identity, creativity, and chaos — with detours into brain science, resurrection, and the strange place where science and religion blur.

Walter Schreifels of Quicksand goes deep on their seminal and wildly influential 1993 album "Slip." Schreifels reflects on his transition from the New York hardcore scene to develop a more experimental post-hardcore sound, influenced by everyone from Nirvana to My Bloody Valentine and the shoegaze movement. The album's lasting influence is underscored by its impact on bands like Deftones and Rage Against the Machine.

He describes the recording process at Longview Farms, the challenges of writing lyrics, and the album's themes of self-analysis and coming of age. Schreifels highlights the unique contributions of each band member, including the drummer's lyrical style and the guitarist's melodic solos. The album's lasting influence is underscored by its impact on bands like Deftones and Rage Against the Machine.
