WOW it's been 2+ years since last update. first off I would like to apologize for taking over two years to make this update, I have no excuse except that nothing has really been happening as of yet in the land of WARGASM. here is a recent Email I received from Rich.
"The DVD has been coming along slowly but surely. I actually got myself involved in producing another album, and that has been taking my time away from the GASM DVD, but I have recently started back into it. The band that I'm producing is Steel Assassin, If you don't know of them they were around in the early eighties. They had a Priest/Maiden/Saxon - early metal sound.
I used to roadie for them long before Gasm was doing it. They broke up in around ' 86, and recently, the original members (except for the singer) all reformed to write and record an album. They asked me to do it. They have some interest from some labels here and in Europe, so we are trying to sort that all out right now. Yeah, taking these things on is great, but it does interfere with the Gasm stuff. The way I look at it is the Gasm package will come out and it is going to be amazing!!"
As some of you may or may not know I created a myspace account for WARGASM back in February of 2005. The page URL is myspace.com/wargasm this is now where you will find MP3's for download and a message board dedicated to WARGASM!
Originally I was going to make this update in conjunction with the release of the DVD however due to the DVD taking a little longer to come out and others complaining that I never update the page, I felt it was high time to make an update to the page. I hope you all enjoy the new layout and content.
updates on this page include: NEWS, TONS OF PICTURES, FLYERS, SHIRTS, REVIEWS, PRESS, DISCOVERY, BIOGRAPHY & LINKS.
Unfortunately, wargasm_dvd@yahoo.com no longer works.

After a ten-year hiatus, Boston's thrash pioneers WARGASM will return to unleash their unique brand of power metal on Saturday, September 18 at the Middle East Club in Cambridge, Ma.
Billed as the "First Annual Rawkshow" , proceeds from the event will benefit the Boston-based non-profit organization, Rawkstars, Inc. , which offers music education programs for kids.
"We've been approached several times over the years about doing a reunion show and have discussed celebrating the band's history in a big way at some point", says WARGASM lead guitarist Rich Spillberg , "but never felt the scenario was perfect for us. That is, until now."
"Playing a show for Rawkstars at a venue like The Middle East was just too good to pass up. We'd been waiting for a good enough reason to get together again, and this is definitely it," says Bob Mayo , vocalist and bass player for the group. Mayo , who currently authoring a book about the early days of the now-legendary Boston metal scene, views this as a chance to get together with his old band mates one more time, while supporting an organization with an important mission.
"Music just about saved my life when I was younger; it helped me through some very difficult times," he says. "Who knows what I would have turned to if I didn't have my guitar? Every kid should have a chance to get involved in music. The First Annual Rawkshow isn't just about turning people on to WARGASM ; it's about turning kids onto making music in general. We can maybe affect someone's life and celebrate what music has done for us at the same time. That's amazing."
Tickets for the event are available through Ticketmaster at (617) 931-2000, by visiting Ticketmaster.com or by calling the Middle East box office at (617) 492-9181.
