The Legend of GWAR began millions of years ago when the aliens rampaged across the galaxy with a gang of space pirates called the Scumdogs of the Universe. After killing off dinosaurs and inadvertently creating a new species by raping prehistoric apes, GWAR was entombed in Antarctica until several thousand years later, when GWAR was awakened by a record executive for Capitalist Records. He took them to New York, gave them electric guitars, and began to market them as his latest Rock-n-Roll sensation.
