"So he... wound up... KNEE DEEP... KNEE DEEP IN BLOOD..."

If those lyrics are familiar to you, there is no doubt that they bring a smile to your face. And if you were lucky enough to have been at the Middle East Club, in Cambridge, Massachusetts on a perfect Saturday night last year, September 18th, you probably were not able to wipe that smile off your face for days. On that night, Boston's premier metal band WARGASM reunited in front of a packed crowd, for the first time in a decade, to once again crush with their powerful brand of metal.

Playing songs spanning all three Wargasm records (Why Play Around? - 1988, Ugly – 1993, and Suicide Notes – 1994), guitarist Rich Spillberg, brother Barry on drums, and lead singer/bassist Bob Mayo pounded through a seamless set that left everybody there emotionally touched.

"People's love for Wargasm hit me like a ton of bricks. The intense passion I felt coming from them all nailed me right in the chest...", said Mayo. "The night was spiritual, as if the whole club was in dire need to be brought back to that time", said Rich, referring to the early days of Wargasm, when their new sound fed metal followers starving for something beyond the hair metal bands that the clubs had to offer.

The reunion show, promoted by Rawkstars Inc. (www.rawkstars.org) founder Jonathan "JJ" Jacobs, was filmed and digitally recorded to be included in "the quintessential Gasm release", according to Rich. "By the time we played our last shows in '95, DVDs weren't even around yet! As the rehearsals for the reunion show progressed, we felt we should definitely capture the show on film, and once the editing of that footage began, the idea grew to include a historical picture of the band, to give everyone a good look at who we are."

The DVD is set to include the entire reunion show, along with a documentary about the band, complete with vintage live footage and other candid footage of the band. Then, of course, there will be the "extras".

"We’re making sure the DVD includes everything, so it'll definitely be worth the wait!", said Barry.

Rich adds, "Anyone interested in finding out more about the release date for the DVD should send an email to wargasm_dvd@yahoo.com .

You'll be the first to know..."
