About this concert
7:00 PM EST6 Going
Very excited to welcome GWAR to The Ramkat on November 7, 2026, with special guests Midnight, Mac Sabbath & X-Cops! Early show, doors at 6 PM, show at 7 PM. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM Eastern this Friday, May 1, at TheRamkat.com! The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today! MIDNIGHT has been slaying the metal/punk underground with their own addictive brand of lust, grime, and sleaze dating back to the band's inception. Filthy, belligerent, and obnoxious, MIDNIGHT makes music to start fights to. Blabbermouth once lauded a sound that's, “sleazy and at times a little icky, but is also incredibly catchy,” while Distorted Sound observed, “Part of the reason why MIDNIGHT’s output is so fantastic is that it is supremely digestible. You know exactly what it is you’re going to be subjected to across the next 40-or-so minutes and that is always the audible equivalent of being repeatedly punched in the face by a large man with an anchor tattoo on his hairy forearm." Invisible Oranges concurred hailing a simple but effective formula of, “maximum riffs, darkness and filth, no bullshit.” MAC SABBATH is more than a Rock Band, MAC SABBATH is more than an arena size theatrical stage show packed into a club size stage. MAC SABBATH is more than a comedy, magic act, fast food bashing, off Broadway play set to the music of the masters or mystical Metal. Ronald Osborne and his band of Monsanto mutants Slayer MacCheeze, Grimalice and the Cat Burglar are an anti-industry tour deforce. Not only are they battling the food industry one Black Sabbath parody song at a time, but sticking it to the music industry as well by breaking all the rules. When corporations churn out pre packaged auto tune pop fluff… Mac travels back to the psychedelic land of eye and ear melting vinyl records wrapped in coloring books and even pop-up books! A tangible tangerine feast for the senses! MAC SABBATH puts on a multimedia stage show complete with a smoking grill, laser-eyed clowns, bouncing burgers and many more magical surprises! Open your ears, eyes and your mouth and taste the natural flavor sensations and organic licks of these prophetic pranksters that are MAC SABBATH. The X-Cops are back! After 25 years on the lam, the original Bad Boys of Law Enforcement have returned, bringing their unique brand of heavy metal with them. The world has never been more in need of the message they bring; “respect authority, or else!”, and they have the riffs and the fire power to back it up! Rumors about the identities of these uniformed thugs are rampant, with some even going as far as to say that they are made up of members of such legendary bands as GWAR, Rigor Mortis, and Darkest Hour, but the truth is they are actually former police officers who have banded together to beat the world into submission, force feed the public their own brand of Justice, and spread the word that All Cops Are Beautiful!

Artist bio
Filthy, belligerent and obnoxious, Midnight make music to start fights to. Since 2003, one-man-
band Athenar has been churning out an ungodly racket, dropping countless demos, splits and EPs
- and in 2022 he returns, delivering a catchy mixture of black metal, speed metal, and dirty punk
rock. "I always want it to be loud and nasty," he asserts. "That kinda thing never gets old with
me. How funny will that look to see me at age 77 - if I reach that point - sitting on the porch
blasting Hellhammer?"
The title is a combination of the song titles "Let There Be Sodomy" and "Szex Witchery",
Athenar wanting to maintain the tradition of using six syllables. Lyrically, the record is
"unfiltered savage animalisticness", and the deeper the listener delves, the dirtier they get, which
is just the way it should be. When it came to tracking the record, Athenar returned to Mercenary
Studios in Cleveland, OH and producer Noah Buchanan, who makes it very easy for him to cut
loose and make noise, choosing to once again record all the instruments himself despite having a
live band that could step in and help out. "It's still just me and my science project gone awry. I
realize I'm musically handicapped, but there's a charm to it."
Mulling over the question as to why anyone should actually give a shit about Midnight, he once
again comes up with a typically Athenar answer: "If I were to give actual good advice, I would
say stay clear of anything to do with Midnight. But I'm not a rational thinker, so as usual, I will
give terrible advice and say punish your earholes and play this album as loud as your stereo
goes, go out to a gig and mingle with others that you don't know, lick their faces and rub upon
each other's sweaty torsos to the hellish, neanderthalish noise of a band called Midnight! You
gotta release your demons somehow! That's why you should give a shit, or two."
