"Lust In Space", the new album from GWAR, sold around 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 96 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Commented lead singer and current Fox News "Red Eye" intergalactic correspondent Oderus Urungus: "We are appalled, shocked, outraged, and completely ecstatic over GWAR's latest master-work, 'Lust In Space', debuting at #96 in the Billboard chart... In keeping with my finally confirmed uber-rock star status, I have already vomited on Lindsay Lohan's puss, visited the Obama girls, and sodomized Carrot-Top. And there was much rejoicing."

Still sporting nachos in his beard, Oderus continued to rant: "But 96? That's just not going to do it... GWAR and Metal Blade Records plan to keep on with this relentless assault until we go all the way to #95!"

GWAR recently shot a music video for "Let Us Slay", the first single from "Lust In Space", which was released on August 18 via Metal Blade Records. The clip was shot in Richmond, Virginia by director David Brodsky (SUICIDE SILENCE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL) and his MyGoodEye crew.
