AllMusic [1]

Hell-O! is the debut album by Gwar.[2] It was released in 1988, on Shimmy Disc Records.[3] The album was produced by Kramer.[4]

Gwar's angle on the album is that of a morbid punk band (a la The Mentors, The Misfits, Butthole Surfers) obsessed with debauchery, violence and toilet humor. The songs generally support the theme of the group quite well, expanding the band's concept to comic proportions and supporting the back story.
