NEWS: DEAD EARTH POLITICS Announces "The Road to GWAR-BQ!"
Adding to the mania, three time winners of the Austin Chronicle's "Austin MUSIC Awards' Best Performing Metal Band" award, DEAD EARTH POLITICS have been hand-picked by Grammy nominated metal icons, GWAR, as Ambassadors of Mayhem. As the band tours hard towards the fest, they'll be turning their concerts into nightly parties resulting in a week-long celebration of the presence and impact of the intergalactic Scumdogs' 30 years on Planet Earth! These special events include everything from masquerade balls to good old fashioned Cold Cock whiskey fueled birthday bashes. Shenanigans from Texas to Virginia will be chronicled by the accompanying film crew and fans can follow the fun as highlights are showcased daily on Metal Injection, GWAR social media outlets, and DEAD EARTH POLITICS' own Youtube channel.
The band has shared stages with some of metal's biggest names, including DOWN, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, and DANZIG, and are thrilled to be chosen to participate in GWAR's historic event in such a unique way.
"To suggest that we are stoked to carry the Gwar-Banner for such a killer event and such an epic year would be an understatement. Being an independent band and having been offered this opportunity is something we don't take lightly and I, personally, plan on focusing on every moment for my future rock star spank bank! Hail Scumdogs!" says DEAD EARTH POLITICS front man Ven Scott.

Praise for DEAD EARTH POLITICS:
"An awesome display peak peak, valley, mountain, and river. A monster demon and omnivorous angel both winged and flying over melodies of aggressive thrash and classic metal. A good mix of old meeting new." - Jason McMaster, Watchtower / Broken Teeth
"Dead Earth Politics are perfect blend of thrash and power metal. Mixing the aggressive styles of thrash and modern metal with epic and melodic elements that we love about metal. The vocals, drums, bass and guitar are equally powerful in their own right. DEP will please the old school and new metal fans alike" - Hiran Deraniyagala, Battlecross
"If I owned a record label the first band I would sign would be Dead Earth Politics. Not only because they are a great band that continues to evolve over the years, but these guys have the intangibles that few bands possess in their arsenal. They are creative, intelligent and professional. They have the hunger, heart and desire to not let anything stop them from reaching their goals. They are their own managers, booking agents, promoters, and most importantly... each one of them is very talented musicians. This band deserves all the accolades they receive because Dead Earth Politics can back it all up." - Bruce Corbitt, Rigor Mortis / Warbeast
