Metal Blade Video (1998) Catalogue number 3984-34015-3 (PAL as well as NTSC, apparently) Also available on DVD The Dawn Of The Day Of The Night Of The Penguins This video tells the story of Techno's attempts to hypnotise Slymenstra into marrying him, then ultimate her casting off his spell and, of course, defeating him. Apart from it being the registration of the November 11 1997 Gwar gig at the 9:30 club, Washington DC, Hunter "Techno Destructo" Jackson has added small visual extras to enhance the story. Although visually and sonically overdubbed here and there, the atmosphere is all there. I recall it vividly now, not having a dry thread of clothes on my body, having seen Slymenstra sing her heart-shattering "Don't Need A Man"...and it's all on the video, too. The tape starts off rather ordinarily - for Gwar - with a bloody decapitation, but then offers a wealth of climaxes that cannot possibly all be summarised here. They include Slymenstra's blood-curdling firedance (and, ouch, did I suddenly remember the way my skin almost scorched when I saw it done but a metre in front of me), the mutant penguin fight during "Penguin Attack", Slymenstra's enchanting wedding attire, Techno's ultimate defeat during "The Private Pain Of Techo Destructo", culminating in the appearance of a giant Gor-Gor and his inevitable (bloody) decapitation. The video ends with the video clip to "Don't Need A Man", with BalSac playing the piano, Techno guzzling oil. Actually a really good video, running about 60 minutes. 1. Je M'Appelle J. Cousteau 2.
