CD

The second full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
On W.A.S.P.'s sophomore effort the band hired Quiet Riot producer Spencer Proffer to man the boards, resulting in a slightly more accessible sound than their rugged self-titled debut. Although the album wasn't the massive commercial breakthrough the band had hoped for, it resulted in their second Gold-certified release in a row as they became one of the more popular Metal bands of the mid-'80s (touring heavily with the likes of Kiss, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden). Blackie Lawless' lyrics still relied heavily on sexual fantasies ("Sex Drive"), as well as tales of revenge ("Ballcrusher", "Jack Action"), and children of the street ("Running Wild in the Streets").
The album's two singles/videos proved popular on MTV's Heavy Metal-oriented shows - the party-hearty "Blind in Texas" and "Wild Child", the latter a tale of a Harley-riding free spirit.
The album made No. 47 on Billboard's top 200 album chart in early 1986. It also sold over 1000000 copies.
This re-edition have nearly doubled the original album's length, featuring a cover of Mountain's early-'70s hit "Mississippi Queen", the original B-side "Savage" and five live tracks recorded at England's Lyceum in October of 1984!

The first re-release of the fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
W.A.S.P. came out of the Los Angeles Metal scene in 1982, gaining notoriety for their Shock Rock antics. With a career spanning over 3 decades, 17 world tours, and tons of records, they are a Metal band that has evolved in maturity without having lost their signature sound, unlike many of their peers.
Look no further than 2009's "Babylon", a modern day 9-track beast inspired by biblical visions of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". The concept album, filled to the brim with bloodthirsty Christian imagery, proudly displays all the strengths and trademarks that the Metal legends have accumulated over decades in the game. Doug Blair's classic riffing is hauntingly effective, whereas iconic frontman Blackie Lawless still possesses one of the unique and emotional set of vocal cords on the Metal/Hard Rock scene!
The album contains covers of Deep Purple's "Burn" (originally recorded for W.A.S.P's previous album, "Dominator", but not used for unknown reasons) and Chuck Berry's "Promised Land". "Promised Land" was also covered in 1973 by Elvis Presley, and it was Elvis' version that the band had in mind, as demonstrated by the ending comment "How about one of them peanut butter & banana sandwiches".
Without a doubt, an expertly written and played Hard Rocking album that anyone and everyone who is reading this should enjoy!!

The first re-release of the thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
Blackie Lawless has given up experimenting approximately ten year ago, which is a pity because some of the most memorable moments in W.A.S.P.’s quarter of a century long carrier were created when he dared to try something new. Daring to experiment resulted in such brilliant moments like "The Headless Children", "The Crimson Idol" and even "K.F.D.". "Dominator" is another in line of the “safe” records from the band that became famous for making the world less safe place to be. However, with its mixture of band’s most successful albums created between ’86 and ’92, the band still manages to create music worth listening.
After producing all the band's records there is simply no better producer for the band then Mr. Lawless himself and Doug Blair delivers those oh-so-well-known razor sharp guitar leads that made Chris Holmes so famous in his glory days in W.A.S.P.
"Dominator" is based on the current American foreign policies. The lyrics are as angry and intelligent as ever, and those typical W.A.S.P. melodies still have the power to move something inside the listener.
Blackie is one of those few singers that at all times delivers an amazing performance that is filled with both anger and pain at the same time. Now more than ever before. Songs like “Take Me Up” and “Heaven’s Hung in Black” will give you goose bumps even after hearing them more than 20 times. As soon as you hear a W.A.S.P. tune, you know that is W.A.S.P. It has always a good production, not revolutionary. It has cool, catchy riffs and good songs.
Covers of "Burn" by Deep Purple and "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival were included on the originally announced track listing, but were dropped from the album's final cut.
"Dominator" is excellent, vital music with a set of Blackie’s most intelligent and affecting lyrics, a winner through and through, and it is definitely one of the top albums of the year!

The first re-release of the first compilation album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 and before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows were legendary. Featuring W.A.S.P.'s best songs from their first five albums, "First Blood Last Cuts" also features a splattering of 90s remixes that give a different feel to these well-known songs.
The compilation is the result of Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. leaving Capitol Records and was released as a contractual obligation with Capitol/EMI. Released in October 1993, it was the first time the song "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)", previously only released as a Single in 1984, was released on an album. The album also included two new songs, "Sunset and Babylon" and "Rock and Roll to Death". "Rock and Roll to Death" was later released on 1995's "Still Not Black Enough", with "Sunset and Babylon" remaining exclusive to this CD, while others songs were remixed for the album. The song "Wild Child" also recently featured in critically-acclaimed Hollywood feature film "Widows", directed by Steve McQueen.
It was all about shock for W.A.S.P., be it flaming codpieces, tying a semi-naked woman to a torture rack mid-set, tossing raw meat into the audience or Blackie Lawless’ own stupefying arrogance… One thing is for certain, in the annals of Metal there are very few bands like W.A.S.P.

The third re-release of the first live album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
Music critics have always pointed out the similarities between theatrical Rockers KISS and W.A.S.P. – Blackie Lawless' and Gene Simmons' blood spewing, makeup and costumes, high-decibel rock, and so on (Ace Frehley even produced W.A.S.P.'s first demo!). KISS used the live album format for their big commercial breakthrough, 1975's classic "Alive!", and W.A.S.P. hoped the same would happen for them with 1987's "Live… In the Raw"… While it didn't work out that way, it served as a worthwhile document of the band's live show.
Culled from three incendiary 1987 performances in Long Beach, San Diego and San Bernardino, "Live… In The Raw" is an earth-quaking lesson in Heavy Rock. This album can be seen as something of a breakwater between the 'old' W.A.S.P. of the first three albums and the more mature sound of the releases that would follow. "The Manimal" and "Harder Faster" were written specifically for this album, and the studio song "Scream Until You Like It" was recorded for the movie "Ghoulies II". "Harder Faster" is about the PMRC declaring them "sexual perverts".
This would be the final release to feature drummer Steve Riley, who would leave the band shortly after the conclusion of the tour to join L.A. Guns.
This edition of "Live… In The Raw" includes the original album recordings and a four bonus tracks taken from the 1998 CD reissue, which includes an acoustic studio recording of "Sleeping (In The Fire)".

The second re-release of the third live album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
On April 22, 2000, the undisputed masters of Shock Rock Returned to the Key Club in Los Angeles to deliver us some evil. The show that fateful night re-established W.A.S.P. as one of the most entertaining, skillful and controversial Rock bands on the planet.
The concert was originally recorded and shown as a live webcast, which happened during the band's Helldorado World Tour. The DVD of the show (and the webcast) is the first live footage of the band to feature Blackie's signature microphone stand, dubbed 'Elvis' by band and fans alike.
Containing all of the band’s greatest hits and unforgettable performances from Lawless and Holmes, this live captures W.A.S.P. AT their uncensored best!

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
With Glam Rock making a comeback of sorts in 1984 (Mötley Crüe, Ratt, etc.), another Los Angeles band, W.A.S.P., couldn't have picked a better time to release its self-titled debut.
By merging lyrics that dealt with the expected Heavy Metal themes (sex, Satanism, etc.), alongside Blackie Lawless' rough vocals and Chris Holmes' guitar riffing, the band sounded and looked more menacing than your average L.A. Glam band at the time. Add to it a stage show that was gimmick-heavy (Lawless would drink blood from a skull and rip open a pillow, while wearing buttless leather pants and saw blades on his arms), and you had a "can't miss" recipe for controversy and publicity - resulting in the debut's eventual Gold certification.
The album has been known under three different names; the spine of the original vinyl release had "Winged Assassins" printed on it, while early cassette releases of the album had the name of the album's first track, "I Wanna Be Somebody", printed in bold letters on the cover. The album is officially entitled simply "W.A.S.P.", which it is typically referred to as.
Upon its original release, controversial track "Animal (Fuck Like a Beast)" was deleted from the album. The Parents Music Resource Center had labelled the song as one of its "Filthy Fifteen" songs that determined to be morally objectionable. Capitol Records subsequently bowed to pressure and pulled the song. The band released the song on an independent label in the UK as a single in 1984, and it was reinstated on the album's 1998 reissue. The song "Tormentor" was heard in the films "The Dungeonmaster" (1984) and "TerrorVision" (1986).
Traditional 80s Metal of the absolute highest calibre!!

The second full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
This is Warlock's heaviest and most relentless album they recorded. Though capped at the end by the gorgeous power ballad "Catch My Heart," which ranks high amongst Doro's best in a solo capacity, “Hellbound” is all business. It throbs and rolls on a tandem with scattered prog breakdowns and miscellaneous soundbytes, ala "Earthshaker Rock" and various experimental intros on the album. “Hellbound” is hearty and focused, a polished piledriver of Teutonic mayhem kept on a steady equilibrium of shred, mid-tempo jogs and wailing guitar solos.

The debut full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Originally released by Mausoleum Records, it was re-released by Vertigo Records, which went on to release all future Warlock albums.
Warlock was another of the many female-fronted bands that have recently burst onto the Heavy Metal scene. But after listening to "Burning The Witches", it’s obvious that these Germans are far superior to their American counterparts, such as Hellion and Bitch.
The band was fronted by the beautiful and now legendary Dorothee Pesch. Ms. Pesch’s vocals are equally as stunning as her looks, ranging from the Geddy Lee-like vocals (à la Acid’s Kate) on the album’s excellent opening cut "Sign Of Satan" to the more raunchy Jody Turner-style on "Homicide Rocker".
Musically, the band matches the excellence of their vocalist’s talents, producing a tight often melodic sound which reminds somewhat of that great debut album from Canada’s Reckless (1981).
This album is full of high quality numbers such as "After The Bomb", "Dark Fade", "Metal Racer" and the title track. But they are far more devastating with their more uptempo material like the superb "Hateful Guy".
Warlock's debut album is quite far from where the band reached with "Triumph And Steel", but still gives the listener a quite intense Hard'n'Heavy experience although the production on the album is rather thin as for the sound. Good riffs and some good melodies and harmonies in a good balance. In a way this is rather raw Heavy Metal, but it's the one of the classic albums in history of whole Metal!!

First re-release of the fourth and final full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Formed in 1982, the band attained a reasonable degree of success with their four albums, with the first and last being particularly well-known to the Metal public. "Triumph And Agony" is the final opus, released in 1987 and including most of the band’s main hits, such as "All We Are", "I Rule The Ruins", "Metal Tango" or "Für Immer". The result is a consistent and wholly satisfying Euro-Metal album.
The two undeniably best tracks are the bookends. "Für Immer" is a hauntingly beautiful bilingual ballad, sung with earnest, truthful emotion by Doro. “All We Are” is an out-and-out Metal anthem, reminiscent of Manowar’s “Fighting The World”, and equally as catchy. Staidly completing the podium is “Three Minute Warning”, a short burst of quasi- Speed Metal with an infectious chorus and driving, headbanging rhythm. Among the remaining tracks, two others call our attention. "Metal Tango" and "East Meets West" would certainly have made the podium, if there were more than three places available in it. The first is exactly what the title implies: an oxymoronic track that mixes hard guitar riffs with a tango-ish rhythmic sway and cheesy “ole!” backing vocals. Its chorus of “dance, demons, lose control / this is the Metal, the Metal tango” may sound just a tad ridiculous – and it is – but overall the track manages to please through and through. As for "East Meets West", whose main track screams “80’s Metal!!”, it’s just a fun song, with a fist pumping chorus sure to ingrain itself in your mind. "A Touch of Evil" and "Cold, Cold World" aren’t worthy of licking the other tracks’ boots, although they are by no means bad songs. The first boasts an excellent vocal performance from Doro, while the latter is a pleasant but bland listen that can be construed as perhaps the weakest point of the album. As a whole, this is a completely satisfying album.
The album was recorded in the US with producer Joey Balin and a different band line-up in comparison with the previous album, “True As Steel”, which had made the name of Warlock known outside of Europe. Peter Szigeti and Frank Rittel were replaced in 1987 by the American musicians Tommy Bolan and Tommy Henriksen respectively. The album also features British drummer Cozy Powell on some tracks.
The song "All We Are" received some airplay on American Metal radio stations and its video clip shot by director Mark Rezyka had good rotation on MTV's “Headbangers Ball”. Many songs of this album are still performed live by Doro's band.
The album reached number 80 in American Billboard 200 and got Gold status in Germany.
A solid Heavy Metal record sure to please fans of the more traditional strands of the genre. If you are into 80’s Metal, of the traditional variety, you should by all means give it a listen, and then go on to discover the rest of Warlock’s and Miss Pesch’s discography!!

First re-release of the third full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With Doro at the helm, Warlock put forth an interesting variation on the Sleaze/Glam Metal sound with a fair share of Judas Priest and Accept influences to boot. They started more concentrated upon the riff oriented style the previous mentioned bands exhibited and didn’t spend too much time trying to write epic sounding ballads or lighter edged rock songs. On this release band began evolving their sound slightly away from that style and towards something a bit more mainstream. “True as Steel” is sort of a mixture of older guard aggressive Heavy Metal and the Glam style that was really growing in prominence at this point in the 80s. You can hear bits and pieces of Dokken, Quiet Riot, and even a little bit of early Riot (pre-Thundersteel). There is a larger emphasis on sing along choruses, much as is the case on the next release “Triumph and Agony”. It still, however, holds onto a good deal of the Speed Metal elements that were heard on “Burning the Witches” and the very heavy “Hellbound”. The resulting mix of styles is a very interesting listen.
This album has their first success outside of Europe, the single "Fight for Rock" charted on Billboard, and the music video for this song was aired on MTV's Headbangers Ball.

The debut full-length album by Canadian Thrash/Speed Metal band.
There will always be a portion of any modern Thrash Metal bands that is compared to the Golden Age of the 1980s. Thrash was just such a pivotal force in that era that those comparisons are going to be made. Some bands resist it, others embrace it, and in the case of Warsenal, they desperately try to recreate it. As soon as this album kicks off it is quite obvious that this band so desperately wants to recreate that chaotic and raw sound of early Thrash albums that they are willing to sacrifice many of the solid evolutionary steps that occurred between 1985 and 2015.
Warsenal never stops going 200 miles per hour of endless Punky leads, riffs out the ass, and drums that sort of meld with one another. It also has the quintessential snarling/shouty vocals that were a dime a dozen back in the day. In a way, it’s almost impressive just how Old School Warsenal took this record and when it works, like on the restrained “Stab You One by One” or “Let Me Out” then the band showcase what might have been a sense of direction.
The first track “Dying on Stage” is a typical Speed/Trash Metal song with generic lyrics, presented at a faster than hell pace. The track had a lot of Megadeth’s “Holy Wars…” influences, albeit with a dirty and poor instrumental take on it. “Hit’ n’ Run” sounds like a demo from Metallica singing with a teenager who loves Dave Mustaine. “Conquer” is like a “Hit’ n’ Run” continuation with a speed solo. And “Stab You One By One” starts off with an impressionistic riff and cadence. “Unstoppable” starts with the same feeling as the earlier songs, with a chorus shouted by what sounds like all the band members combined. The two last songs have the all-the-same-song feel to them like the others: speed riffs, hash vocals a-la “Kill ‘Em All” style, and overall give the listener nostalgia about "that times".
Highly recommended for fans of early Metallica and Megadeth!

The debut full-length album by Slovakian Thrashcore band.
This album is one massive indictment towards our current society, raging on with sheer aggression. Kicking off with two fierce and fast piece of Hardcore, Wastage immediately makes an impact. Their main influences are Thrash Metal bands like Sepultura or Slayer and Hardcore acts including Biohazard and Sick Of It All. The latter are certainly present in the opening tracks "Away From The Darkness" and "Slave To The System". An you'll easily can see the moshpits forming when Wastage blasts off on stage!
From then on, the tone is set and Wastage opens all registers to make this a brutal album. However, there is still plenty of room for some melody, some awesome Thrash Metal riffs and a bit of experiment. "Ham-Let" and "You Can't Stop" even bring bands like Soilwork, Meshuggahor Machine Head to mind. Yes this album is quite diverse, even if you keep in mind that this is one brutal motherfucker.
Even if you not really a fan of Hardcore music, but Thrash Metal is your music, this album is recommended for you. Thrashers and Hardcore fans can blindly trust Wastage to come up with something good, something that even Old School Death Metal fans can appreciate! So check it out but whatever you do, be careful. This will spike your adrenaline and there might be some innocent victims in the aftermath!!
