Spawn Of Lawless
The site may be gone, but if you've come here following a link, a new W.A.S.P album is comming out and it's me duty to tell ya!
WASP UNLEASH UNHOLY TERROR
WASP continue in their honoured tradition of releasing provocative and ruthless music with their latest album 'UNHOLY TERROR', their first for the Metal-is label, on April 9th.
Recorded in Los Angeles with WASP main man Blackie Lawless at the production helm, 'UNHOLY TERROR' deals with many issues that Lawless sees in the world today, and never being afraid to comment on these issues through his music says:
''One subject that this album deals with is socio, religious, and political hypocrisy. I had a fundamentalist Christian upbringing and I grew up seeing the world through a different pair of eyes''.
In the song 'Charisma', Lawless, who has constantly been the target of religious zealots throughout his career, explains:
''There's a dark side of charisma that mesmerizes all of us when we look at the world figures who possess that dark gift. In the song there's a line that goes 'Preaching fear and using religion with the Bible and Koran', as often organised religions wield a mighty power over it's congregations in the name of God''.
That said, this is still a Rock n' Roll record, and sees WASP's trademark high octane brand of relentless, driving rock, standing shoulder to shoulder with songs about Disaffected Youth and Dictators, Popes and Politicians, and will surely go down as one of their most accomplished albums to date.
