GWAR, the world’s premier shock rock band, has announced that Kim Dylla was released from the band directly following the fall 2014 GWAR Eternal Tour, and will no longer perform with the group.

Dylla played the character of Vulvatron, a buxom Scumdog from the distant future, on the band’s last national tour. The group garnered quite a bit of press when it was erroneously reported that Dylla, in the role of Vulvatron was the new lead singer for the band.

Brent Purgason, slave of the recently defrosted intergalactic barbarian, Pustulus Maximus, had this to say; “Kim did a great job, but we wanted to go a different direction with the Vulvatron character. You will absolutely see more of Vulvatron in the future, just not portrayed by Kim. There is no ill will, no acrimony, and no drama. We respect Kim’s talent without question, it just isn’t what we needed in the character.”

Dylla has since commented on the situation via Facebook, which opened up a heated "he said/she said" altercation between herself and Purgason. It began with the following statement from Dylla:

"It's really nice when you find out important things from people you consider to be your friends from posts on the internet and messages from strangers. There is something called basic respect not existing in that modus of communication. That being said, I'm currently looking for a new vocal gig with a serious metal band that likes to tour their asses off. Doesn't matter what style but no core b.s., no symphonic metal. Must be chill dudes and down with beer drinking hellraisers. Must not be threatened by strong women, no deep-seated drama. Location unimportant."

Purgason: "We let you go in January. You were telling fans misinformation about the next fall tour under the pretense that you were still a band member. How is that respectful to us? We had to clarify that. We didn't make a big stink about it when it happened because it wasn't necessary. Many people have played many different characters and their entrances and exits weren't publicized because the band is not about that. It's been 5 months and none of us said anything about you being let go. You didn't have to keep this facade up the whole time. You could have let the Facebook world know then but now it looks to me like you want to drag this out. Sorry you feel that way but no one here threw you under the bus."

Stay tuned for updates.
