GWAR will make its triumphant return to Europe late this November into December on as part of the "Use Your Collusion" 2019 tour. The trek, which features main support VOIVOD, begins in Bochum, Germany on November 22 and ends on December 14 in Zurich, Switzerland. Pre-sales begin today and the general public on-sale is set for August 16 at 9:00 a.m. GMT. "GWAR has waited long enough to terrorize youth across the pond. What better way to spend a winter than pillaging and copulating across Europe," says guitarist Pustulus Maximus. Lead singer The Berserker Blóthar chimes in: "All of Europe will bow to the majesty of GWAR! We will destroy your cities and consume all of your drugs. We will bring welcome death to the most depressed, emotionally and sexually repressed people on Earth. I cannot wait to wreak havoc on your infinitely inferior plumbing." "In Europe they call me doner kabob because that's all I eat there. I love European culture. Can't wait for the tour," adds drummer JiZMak da Gusha.

Dave Brockie, who fronted GWAR under the name Oderus Urungus, was found dead in his home in Richmond, Virginia in March 2014. According to Virginia's State Medical Examiner's Office, he died from acute heroin toxicity by accidental means. Brockie was last remaining original member of GWAR, which was founded 35 years ago. He was 50 years old.
