Slymenstra origins in GWAR's Mythology are somewhat sketchy. Various
comics depict her as existing with GWAR from their genesis, whileothers
depict her birth, as rising fully grown from the sea like Venus only to
end up on a perpetual bad date with various GWAR members. Little Wonder
Slymenstra claims her hobbies as "stealing your boyfriend and man hatred.."
The Crack In the Egg Video and America Must Be Destroyed tour
introduced Slymenstra as a Fire Goddess, and mother of Gor-Gor, agiant
godzilla like monster. Definitely the highlight of the America Must Be Destroyed
Show and the Phallus in Wonderland Feature Film.
The tale plays itself out when Techno Destructo enslaves Gor-Gor
and turns the monster's fury against GWAR . As always Techno Destructo's plans
go awry. Gor-Gor is destroyed and Techno is once again relegated to the
role of court baffoon.
After the pair refuse to mate naturally, Sin artificially inseminates
Slymenstra with the sperm of Oderus. Shortly after the child's birth Sin
steal's the baby and eats it for dinner. Pissed off at the death of her
second child, Slymenstra disembowels Sin to free her baby but kills the
child in the process.
On the latest tour Sin's Minions steal Slymenstra's child from
her womb in yet another failed attempt to resurrected the great fallen hypocrite
from outer space Cardinal Sin. Once again Slymenstra's dancing, imprisonment
and eventual escape prove to be a highlight of the show.
GWAR ,traveling
punk rock artists and stage performers extraordinaire, have captivated masses
of fans worldwide since the late eighties with their ongoing rockopera
saga. The saga has evolved on live tours, stage appearances, videos, CD's,
art shows and on MTV where, in a twist of the absurd, the hard-rockin',cutting
edge artists are proclaimed as "the favorite punk rock band of Beavis and
Butt-head, infamous but unreal cartoon pundits and devoted GWAR fans.
Dominatrix, Slymenstra, based on "every female fertility icon there is",
from Diana to Medusa is unquestionably the highlightof the band's legendary
stage shows. On the bands latest CD, Rag Na Roc. Slymenstra performs and
duet with lead singer Oderus (Dave Brockie).
Slymenstra' srole
in the stage show has grown since her early appearances with GWAR .In her
earliest appearance her role was limited to foil for Masochistic Techno
Destructo (Hunter Jackson).
In subsequent tours Oderus is inadequate to satisfy Slymenstra sexual
needs, but arch enemy and space alien Cardinal Sin desires the pair'sunion
so he can steal the baby. Sin plans to eat the baby and thus gain the parent's
super powers.
