Media type: CD

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 now their 15th studio album, they are a metal band that has evolved in maturity without having lost their signature sound, unlike many of their peers from their origins. Golgotha will continue down the path that 2007's Dominator and 2009's Babylon started on, both in production style and theme. Years in the making, Golgotha will undoubtedly lead the listeners on the emotionally epic undertaking that W.A.S.P. has become acclaimed for!

Babylon (2009), the predecessor to Golgotha, is inspired by biblical visions of The Four Horsemen. The concept album - that is filled to the brim with bloodthirsty Christian imagery – proudly displays all strengths and trademarks that U.S. metal legends W.A.S.P. have accumulated over decades. Doug Blair`s classic riffing is hauntingly effective, whereas iconic front man Blackie Lawless still possesses one of the most unique and emotional set of vocal chords of the metal / hard rock scene! Showcasing Blackie`s love for old school rock are cover versions of Chuck Berry`s ‘Promised Land‘ and Deep Purple`s ‘Burn‘.
