Frontman Dave Brockie - aka Oderus Urungus - died in March of an accidental heroin overdose. The band say the upcoming Gwar Eternal Tour 2014 is a mission to find the "missing" Oderus.

Guitarist BalSac The Jaws of Death says: "Dark clouds of war and ill omen have gathered around Gwar. In our hour of greatest peril, Oderus has left us and our enemies stand poised, ready to strike while they sense weakness. But we shall no longer cower in our Antarctic stronghold, awaiting destiny's final blow.

"This Fall, Gwar sets out on the most trying quest of our career. We shall scour our leader's favourite stomping ground, North America, leaving no city unsearched, no venue unraised, and no sheep unmolested.
