The stage darkens as Blackie Lawless appears. You've heard of W.A.S.P. The debauchery. The sleaze rock. The fun. He dons a saw blade on his crotch, blood in his mouth and his mic stand is that of which you've never seen before. Skull and crossbones and chains? You're not sure what will happen next, but you know it will be one of the most entertaining shows you've ever seen. W.A.S.P. is legendary. They've faced the PMRC head on and have come out unscathed. Forget emo. Forget the Warped Tour. Blackie commands you to face the demons within yourself and go to the show. For a guy that has been labeled the devil incarnate, he's actually very articulate and soft spoken. But once on the stage, watch out. You might just get stung. - Beau Dowling

Formed in 1982, W.A.S.P. is set to bring this universally acclaimed "classic" album to life. Lead vocalist Blackie Lawless says, "It was an angry record made by an angry band. It was a record that not only reflected the attitude of the band members who made it, but also a record that reflected its time." This record became a central piece of the 80s metal scene and remains one of the best metal debut albums of all time.
Along with bassist Mike Duda and lead guitarist Doug Blair, whose tenures in the band are 29 and 26 years respectively, W.A.S.P. is joined by long-time drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester.
