"Black Friday is a single by thrash metal band Gwar, that was issued on picture disc for Record Store Day Black Friday 2016. It is the first studio material released by the band since founding member and lead singer Dave Brockie died of a heroin overdose on March 23, 2014. Side A (dubbed "Side Oderus") contains the band's final studio recording with Brockie, and side B (dubbed "Side Blothar") contains the band's first studio recording with new lead singer Michael Bishop as his new character Blothar the Berserker. Side B also features the only appearance of the character Vulvatron Destructo, portrayed by singer and seamstress Kim Dylla, due to her dismissal from the band in early 2015. The single consists of re-recorded cover songs that were initially released through The A.V. Club's annual A.V. Undercover series. The lyrics of the Jim Carroll Band's "People Who Died" were rewritten to include the names of friends of the band who had died. Each verse is sung by a different member of the band. The rewritten lyrics honor actor and comedian Robin Williams, Peter Steele of Type O Negative, Jeff Hanneman of Slayer, Jackass member Ryan Dunn, local friend David Castleman, former Death Piggy drummer Sean Sumner, Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell, Ministry and Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia, freak show performer Crazy White Sean, and former Gwar members Cory Smoot and Dave Brockie.
