New WASP album - Golgotha

I haven't heard Dominator but Babylon was pretty good. If the new one is similar to that I'll get it.

Loved Babylon and will be eagerly awaiting the new one.

I am so way behind on these guys.

I only own unholy terror and dying for the world, both of which are very good.

hopefully I catch up soon. What other cds would you recommend?

I think the only W.A.S.P. album I don't care for is The Neon God pt. II, and even then, I probably didn't give it an entirely fair listen. It will be fun going through their catalogue again in anticipation of this.

I only have the first two. I planned on getting more but (and I'm sure many of you are tired of hearing me say this-hell I don't like this fact either) I don't really buy much music anymore as my budget won't allow it.

I don't know why but this band never really clicked with me, even when I recently gave them a second chance. But Headless Children is alright.

News on Golgatha:

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/w-a-s-p-signs-with-napalm-records-golgotha-album-due-this-summer/#gO5C6yOT8M8Q7io3.99

W.A.S.P. has signed a new worldwide record deal with Austria's Napalm Records. The band's fifteenth studio album, titled "Golgotha", will be released this August.

"W.A.S.P. are excited to announce they have signed an exclusive recording contract with Napalm Records," states W.A.S.P. leader Blackie Lawless.

"We chose Napalm for their personal belief and professional commitment to our career.

"We're looking forward to years of great success together starting with the release of our upcoming album, 'Golgotha'."

Adds Napalm vice president Thomas Caser: "It is a true honor to announce this signing today. A dream has come true.

"With their impressive career and ability to create musical masterpieces, W.A.S.P. have always been one of the most influential metal bands out there since the beginning of their career.

"We are thrilled about the upcoming album, 'Golgotha', which will be released this summer!"

At last year's press conference at the 2014 edition of the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden, Lawless stated about the lyrical inspiration for the upcoming CD: "'Golgotha' is Hebrew for place of the skull, and it's the hill where Christ was crucified. And it's interesting, when you see a lot of bands going around using Satanic images or images of death and things like that, and I'm thinking, all they need to do is look at the source, 'cause it's right there. I mean, if you want death, there's enough to go around there."

Regarding the musical direction of W.A.S.P.'s new material, Lawless said: "It sounds probably more similar to the last two that we've done [2007's 'Dominator' and 2009's 'Babylon']. And we've been working on this thing for four years now."

He continued: "I don't know if you guys heard, I had a little hiccup [in 2013], and that delayed recording for almost a year. I broke my leg. And that, too, was an interesting trip.

"But there's one thing that I learned when I was doing [1992's] 'The Crimson Idol': if you make a record over too long of a period of time, you have to be very, very careful, because the record you start out making is not the record you end up finishing, because you've changed so much as a person over a three- or four-year period, you've gotta be very, very careful to hold on to that vision. But from what I'm hearing so far — and it's not completely mixed yet — it has definite overtones of the last two records."

Good to know. I was just wondering about this the other day.

Me too.  I'm glad to see that they're signed to Napalm Records.  At least they have distribution in the US and I won't have to wait forever to get the album like I did with Babylon.

Very good news, Babylon was excellent.

Yeah I thought Babylon was excellent too. And it took me a long time to find a copy as well.

Looking forward to the new album. Hope his voice is holding up better than his looks...



He's gotta kind of a fat Elvis thing going on there.

Hmm, now that you mention it.....

Cool. I'm a W.A.S.P. fanboy, so I'm sure I'll dig it.

Me too!  I'm really looking forward to this one.  I did stop listening to W.A.S.P. in the nineties, but "Dying For The World" re-ignited my appreciation for the band in a big way back in 2002.  Babylon was excellent!

Dream concert: W.A.S.P., Alice Cooper and KISS.  How cool would that be?!

Been a fan since the early days but will admit I kind of lost interest in the nineties and am still missing 2 from that decade to complete the discography. However, Babylon and Dominator are absolutely awesome and get as much love from me as the Last Command and Headless do.

Dominator is beyond awesome. Great, great disc. I did hear some snippets of Babylon and I liked what I heard. I hope the new one is as good as Dominator. That one can go against the classic discs.
