Their first album on a major label (Metal Blade, backed by Warner Bros.). A big advance from "Hell-O'", it also has one of the best back covers ever - Slymenstra "walking" a bunch of slaves covered in blood. Songs are longer and better written. Also included (on CD) is Beefcake's first attempt at singing. Here's a little more info on the Japanese booklet: Front and back cover and front and back inside cover are the four pictures that have been sent to the alt.music.GWAR newsgroup late October 1996 as Scumjap1.jpg - Scumjap4.jpg.
