W.A.S.P.

Release Year: 2002
Artist Origin: USA
Style: dark savage dramatic heavy metal

with the dawn of new millennium breaking in, the US stalwarts of loud and dramatic heavy metal were highly creative, releasing two full-lengths in fifteen months, and adding a double album two years after this grim, uncompromising monster - straightforward, raw and evil heavy metal with top-notch songwriting brings back memories of the rebellious Kill Fuck Die times with allusions to modern sound, yet plenty of vintage hints in catchy as hell tracks like My Wicked Heart to bang your head to are equally effective, while liner notes by Blackie Lawless describing it as "a collection of songs to go kill people with" confirm the spontaneous inspiration coming after life-changing 9/11 events
