According to the WASPGROUP MySpace page, W.A.S.P. have inked a deal
with Demolition Records, and are expected to issue their new album,

expected to release the new effort via SPV.

According to a press release, with Dominator, Blackie Lawless & Co

phenomenal riffs and catchy arrangements. Besides numerous quality
compositions of their own, such as 'Mercy', 'Take Me Up' or 'Heaven's
Hung In Black' bearing the band's typical trademarks, Dominator also
offers with 'Burn' (DEEP PURPLE) and 'Fortunate Son' (C.C.R.) two cover
versions that stay true to the W.A.S.P. tradition of 'The Real Me' and
'I Don't Need No Doctor'.

Dominator tracklisting: 'Mercy', 'Burn', 'Take Me Up', 'Heaven's
Blessed', 'Heaven's Hung In Black', 'Long Long Way To Go', 'Teacher',
'Heaven's Hung In Black (Reprise)', 'Fortunate Son'.

Who the heck is "Demolition Records?" I've never heard of this label.

I also don't see a U.S. release date ... does this mean I'm gonna have to buy this CD as an import (like I did with CRIMSON IDOL and STILL NOT BLACK ENOUGH back in the mid 90s)?

Either way, looking forward to the new CD... I certainly hope it's better than Blackie's two-part NEON GOD piece of crapola!!

It wasn't all bad, I agree, but there was no reason for it to be spread out over two albums. Blackie could've easily cut a lot of the crap songs and made one good, solid album out of those.

Since he's now signed a new record deal, I'm assuming that the NEON GOD was a two-parter since he probably owed his previous label (Sanctuary) two more records so that was his way of getting'em out of the way in one shot.
