“How to describe such vileness on the page?”
I’m all for humour and wit in music but actual comedy bands or records have limited appeal for me. They might make me chuckle but I’m not going to need many repeat listens. Infamous intergalactic metallers GWAR are a rare instance where a band ventures well into the “comedy” zone while still coming up with enough good music and songs to make me want more. Here’s Maggots from their breakthrough 1990 album Scumdogs Of The Universe. Of course, GWAR can’t resist a joke about boogers but that’s the only bit of Maggots that bugs me. It’s a snotty, shlock-horror thrasher with great riffs, Oderus Urungus’ charismatic gurgle and an extremely catchy chorus where a buzzing fly provides a surprisingly inventive and infectious hook.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
Excellent! I saw Gwar in 2010 and was very impressed, although I was covered in fake blood at the end.

All a bit understated for my tastes. If only they’d dressed up a bit and put on a bit of a show.

It was the 90s though, they knew grunge was just round the corner.

A friend’s brother saw them in about 1993 and was really pissed off that the fake blood didn’t wash out of his clothes. That always amuses me.
