''Beyond Hell'' is the tenth studio album by Gwar. It was released on August 29, 2006, the album was originally announced through the band's official website on February 23, 2006. Unlike the band's output since 2001, it is a concept album and a rock opera, centering on Gwar's journey to Hell as they escape from the attacking armies of humanity. ==Overview== The concept of this album is the closest thing to a rock opera that Gwar has done since ''RagNaRok''. Most of the albums after ''RagNaRok'' either didn't follow any plot, or followed it too loosely. The concept revolves around the band's journey to hell and their epic battle with the Devil. The album follows the sound Gwar set with ''Violence Has Arrived'' and perfected with ''War Party''. This album had previously been tentatively titled ''Go To Hell!'' and ''Greetings From Hell!''. Beyond Hell is one of the two albums by Gwar to have no other lead vocalist than Oderus Urungus (the other being ''Violence Has Arrived''). A single for Gwar's cover of Alice Cooper's classic song School's Out was released for radio play previous to the release of the album, and a video for it was shot in August, premiering on MTV's Headbanger's Ball on August 19. ''Beyond Hell'' was produced by Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad (Who also provided backing vocals in "Tormentor") and Cory Smoot. The album was demo'd and recorded in Corey Smoot's personal recording studio (christened SlavePit Studios) with the exception of Dave Brockie's vocals, which were done in Vancouver at Devin Townsend's studio. The album is available as a regular CD or in a limited digipack format, which also includes a bonus DVD with various extras on it plus expanded artwork and a poster. The DVD features behind the scenes clips featuring a tour of the "Slave Pit" which is where all the costumes are made, and stored, as well as a short called "Meeting Dave Brockie" where the producers meet the man behind the Oderus mask, as well as mockumentary footage of producer Devin Townsend (whose name is misspelled "Townshend") meeting the band for the first time. The DVD was produced by acclaimed metal producers Metal Injection, who included a bonus sketch of Russian journalist "Metal" Misha crashing a Gwar recording session. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beyond Hell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
