Bloody Pit Of Horror

== Bloody Pit Of Horror ==
Released on November 6th, 2010, Bloody Pit Of Horror is GWAR's 12th studio album.
The album features a distinct darker and heavier style of thrash metal compared to the bands previous releases. The album doesn't have a coniciding story, though songs throughout do reference to the albums title. This would be the last album to feature bassist Casey Orr as Beefcake the Mighty, before his return again in 2019. Sadly, Bloody Pit Of Horror would also be the final Gwar album to feature lead guitarist and producer Cory smoot, who died in November of 2011. The long-running Flattus Maximus character was then retired out of respect. 
Several of the songs were initially composed by Cory Smoot for his solo project, The Cory Smoot Experiment. These songs were, at the request of Dave Brockie, lyrically re-written to fit a GWAR album. The original versions of these tracks can be found on Cory Smoot’s posthumous album, When Worlds Collide.
The European release of the album features two bonus tracks: a live medley of songs from GWAR’s debut album Hell-O!, and a comedic Christmas song. Both songs were originally released on their own limited edition vinyl single.

== Album Cover ==
The cover art of Bloody Pit of Horror is based on the photo to the right, taken by Michael Schmidt.
For the initial photo, Mike Derks (Balsac The Jaws Of Death) wore the rounded version of the Balsac helmet from the early 2000s because it offered better facial coverage for the camera angle than the sharper helmet introduced in 2006.
GWAR’s book, Let There Be GWAR, contains an additional behind-the-scenes photo of Scott Krahl and Matt Maguire testing the camera angle.
