GWAR Films 'Lords And Masters' Video In Baton Rouge

October 9, 2009

According to 2TheAdvocate.com, GWAR, the heavily costumed, wildly theatrical heavy-metal-thrash-rock band from Richmond, Virginia, shot a video for the song "Lords and Masters" last week on a vacant lot on Baton Rouge, Louisiana's 20th Street.

Chris Trainor, the video's Baton Rouge-based director, previously shot a GWAR video for "Eighth Lock", a track on the band's 2006 album, "Beyond Hell", at New Orleans Halloween attraction House of Shock.

"House of Shock was the perfect look for these guys because we had a million-dollar set every corner we turned," Trainor told 2TheAdvocate.com.

GWAR and Trainor considered filming "Lords and Masters" at a Halloween attraction in Baton Rouge, but, not wanting to repeat themselves, opted for something completely different: GWAR in the out-of-context world of hip-hop.

With the help of local rapper Mark Young, aka M Dot, Trainor located hip-hop models and cars and the 20th Street location. The video also features GWAR lounging poolside as bikini-clad human females serve grapes and champagne to the infamous Scumdogs of the Universe.
