GWAR's first commercial video release on the MetalBlade Video label that was sold through major retailers. Billed with them playing a live show in Antarctica the packageing reads as quoted; "For the first time you can enjoy an actual GWAR cannibalistic blood orgy invading the privacy of your own home. Finally you can experience a live performance in relative safety. Those too timid to attend a live GWAR show will appreciate that even though most viewers will suffer permanent brain damage at least they won't get blood all over their latest trendy outfit. Laugh in abject horror as Oderous Urungus, The Sexicutioner, Slymenstra Hymen, and company Rape, Burn, and Pillage their way into your heart. Join them in their never ending quest for exploitational sex and gratuitous violence." First release was on VHS, and the DVD is still available. Running Time: 57:45

[edit] Blood Bath and Beyond (2006)

Available on DVD June 20, 2006. It includes brand new videos, rare old stuff, and some live footage. There is a pornographic movie, starring Oderus Urungus and Sexecutioner, and is set to a demo of Sick of You, looped without any vocals. Also included is a very old video to Poor Ole Tom, directed by Dave Brockie. The main content of the movie is set up like an award show, where Oderus and Sleazy P. Martini reminisce with montages. They are the only two members of GWAR to actually make appearances, save a brief cameo by Balsac the Jaws of Death at the end, though some of the other Slave Pit Inc. employees are featured.

The announcer at the awards show is played by Chris Bopst, who was the first person to play BalSac the Jaws of Death.
