W.A.S.P.: (1997) Kill fuck Die

Being a dedicated Wasp fan, I can safely say that their early albums (such as their self-titled debut, The Last Command, and Headless Children) are truly heavy metal classics. However, the bands style of playing and glam theatrics do seem unarguably dated today, where the music marketplace is willing to promote any kind of metal music as long as it is big hair-less.
This being said, KFD represents the band's attempt to break free of their tradtional high-volume and theatrical approach in favor of a newer, more updated sound. The opening track, for example, is a cascade of Blackie's ressonating vocals and industrial guitar and synth tones. The rest of the album continues on like this, with other higlights like "Killahead", "Kill Your Pretty Face", and "Wicked Love". On the whole, Blackie and the boys sound much grimier and more dangerous than ever before, but with the creative atmospherics to make them more effective. This may be a mixed blessing for some long-time fans, however, since this album favors mean-spirited and scary imagery over just normal rock and roll themes (sex, drugs, etc.). But if think you'd like the child band of Wasp and Nine Inch Nails, this may be just for you. I hope they continue on the path of discovery toward newer, more timely music in the future. Long live Wasp!
